We live in an awesome area!\u00a0 There is always so much to do.\u00a0 Outings, events, shows, museums, hikes, etc.\u00a0 So much to do that it’s impossible to be bored.\u00a0 It’s also impossible to do it all, especially with kids who need down time (ok, moms too!)\u00a0 Today was the usual Saturday farmer’s market, touch-a-truck, the Co-op producers fair, plus our town’s 250 celebration, plus all the normal stuff today… and that’s just what I know of.\u00a0 I made a point NOT to look at the events listings or transaction ads in today’s paper because I didn’t want to find more things to do.<\/p>\n

We started the day with a trip to the farmer’s market.\u00a0 Lex has been talking about farmer’s markets all week and really wanted to go.\u00a0 This year there is a TON of baked good, in addition to the usual produce.\u00a0 Last year it was all produce plus one bakery… this year it’s about half and half.\u00a0 They also have entertainment each week and today was (unbeknownst to us) a singer who we saw perform last year. Eve loved him and he sang a song about her last year (I thought I blogged about that, but I can’t find it now) so she was thrilled that he was back again. The kids got muffins, I got grape tomatoes and we had our morning snack there.\u00a0 I also got some beautiful multi-color carrots and sweet corn.\u00a0 I think we’ll have both for dinner tonight. Yum!<\/p>\n

\"Farmer's<\/a><\/p>\n

After that we went to the annual touch-a-truck event (2010<\/a>, 2009<\/a>).\u00a0 Always a crowd pleaser. When we go we see so many friends from the past. People we’ve lost touch with, grown apart from, went to school with, etc. And neighbors and close friends too. It’s amazing how excited kids get about trucks. They climb on them, get dirty, honk the horns (incessantly!) and have a blast. I think the parents like it because it’s free :)<\/p>\n

\"Touch<\/a><\/p>\n

We were thinking about having lunch out, but it was nearly 12:30 when we left and Eve was a DISASTER! Fighting and fussing and crying. We got home, had some lunch, then I insisted on a nap today. I’ll probably be regretting it at 10pm tonight, but at least our afternoon will be nicer. I’m a little bummed we didn’t make it to the 250 event because I love the idea of support our town’s efforts, but with all the things to do in the area you have to make decisions! And with two young kids you can only do so much. This afternoon I suspect will be spent ton the floor, playing with trains. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
