What we did with our Saturday . . .





Every Friday, there is a Farmer's Market from 4-8pm. We decided to wander through this week and discovered such a wonderful atmosphere! Fresh fruits and veggies, of course, were the expected fare; but there were fresh cut flowers, herbs, local honey, homemade textiles, hot corn on the cob, cotton candy, and face painting. All of this, set to the tunes a local DJ was spinning on the lawn. We got there a little later than 4, more like 6:30pm. The kids saw the face painting and had immediate tunnel vision. That was the only this existing in their world. It was $5 a face and they would be going to bed in 2 hours. Not going to happen. I told them that if they stopped their whining and fussing, we would have time to go over to the craft shop and buy some face paints. I would paint their faces in the morning so that they could have it for the WHOLE day we were in Idaho Falls instead of just for 2 hours tonight. They weighed their options and everyone voted for Saturday morning. We went over to Porter's and spent $11 and in the morning, I painted their faces for our day on the town. The rest of the day was spent running to do school clothes shopping, grocery shopping and general errand running. Everyone kept asking where we got it done, if there was a fair in town. Hmmm, maybe I should start charging!
