Ponchatoula

This weekend we decided to hop in the van and take a little 45 minute trip up the road to Ponchatoula, LA, home of the Strawberry Festival.  The Strawberry Festival is in April, so we missed it by three months, but we always wanted to come back to Ponchatoula to look around in all the antique shops in their downtown area and stop at a big produce stand there, Berry Town Produce.  Our first stop was...

The Ponchatoula Bakery.  Of course the first thing Peyton wanted to do was eat!

These cookie things were so good...peanut butter cookie with a whole Reese's cup.  They were huge.  Peyton savored every bit of her cookie.  We had to drag her out of there. 

She probably would have licked the crumbs off of the floor if I would let her.  HA!  Our payment for treating her to such a delicious, but rich and possibly the kind that gives you a tummy ache snack: a ridiculously smelly diaper that afternoon.  (We're still working on the whole potty training thing.) 

After the bakery, we stopped in a few antique shops just to look.

Who takes a 2 year old to antique shops?

She was swatting me away because she was mad.

Look at that face.

And then there's Raegan, happy as a lark.  :)

 

We finished at the produce place where I bought corn, okra, grape tomatoes(Peyton's favorite), peaches, blueberries, avocado, cucumbers, cherries, plums, a cantaloupe, a watermelon, and strawberry preserves. So we should be good with fruit for a while!
