Saturday Farmers Market

This picture sums up the entire morning...


We got delicious organic produce for a fraction of what we would pay at whole foods AND found an amazing local sauerkraut stand AND the kids got to meet the people that grow our food. The kids cuteness always seems to score them free veggies and fruit to snack on too.

Then as we were leaving a balloon artist wanted to know if we knew anyone who could give a good home to some stray balloon flowers.


Later that day, the girls set a trap and snagged a bunny!


And we all fell desperately and hopelessly in love.....
