Farmers' Market

We have started attending the local farmer's market, the insane one that is like the state fair with the stroller mamas (like bumper cars for busy parents) and musicians, food vendors, and.......oh yes, the fresh fresh peaches. We come home and eat peach after peach after peach until we all turn into peaches. Yum.

My favorite part of the market are the street musicians. They are kind to Lil'Bug and usually let her see their instruments and sing and dance. Very sweet.

Someday we hope to participate on the other side of a local market and bring the joy of fresh farm stuffs to an urban family or two......that's the dream that keeps us plugging away at the life we live now.

Sweet Tea from a friend

Yikes. Check this out. I think what tickled me most were the glowing words that wheelchairmama left me on her blog. :)

I nominate the blogger at Because I'm the Mama That's Why. You can see the link on my blog roll. She's funny and sweet.

My cousin/aunt/friend/not sure how to explain how we are related Montucky Rox at South of the Bridgers.

And I will come back to this when I find two more bloggers who have not already been nominated.

Family Night at the Fish Park

We headed out for a dusk picnic at the lagoon. It was lovely. Lil'Bug loves her "fish park." We spend a lot of time at this particular park this time of year. It has much of the features we need to have smooth sailing family time.

I was a little surprised that my modest digital actually took this picture. Most pictures outside at night do not turn out.

I am glad it did, as it captured a lovely moment on the swinging thing. Ah, childhood. :)

IHE Not Back to School Carnival

My wee tot always gets wet. Thank you to Gookins Christine for taking these sweet pictures. I have camera envy. :)

Iowa Home Educators organized this event. They are a homeschooling group that is all inclusive; we all get together and the kids go nuts.

I wished that we could have stayed for the after party, but the carnival was a good time too. ;)
