Summer is too short, and kids grow too fast. For these very reasons, I thought I would put more effort into blogging some of our summer activities. I forgot to take pictures today, but will definitely make more of an effort to photo-document our adventures to make sharing that much more exciting.
Today, we were out the door by 9am ( Charlie had been up for 3 hours and was getting a bit stir-crazy). We headed over to the farmers market they have every Tuesday. We got some new potatoes, strawberries, cherries, and zucchini.
Our plan was to then head over to the library, but unfortunately the children's section of the library is in the basement and after last night's record setting rain fall, the basement was flooded. We hope the books are ok!
We then walked another 5 minutes down the road and found a splash pad. One of about 10 splash pads and wading pools that is within a 10 minute walk from our house, I have learned never to leave the house without a bathing suit in tow or else we are bound to come home with a wet Charlie. Charlie ran and played, Ben and I hung out under a tree to avoid the sprinkly rain that was coming down.
We walked back to the farmers market and had back bacon on a bun for lunch, can't really beat that! I love this city. I love our neighbourhood that feels like a small town, but has the kind of amenities that allow for every day to be a new adventure. I am now doing research on the super cool splash pads in the city and plan to fill our upcoming summer mornings with some great water play followed by picnic snacks in the park. Stay tuned.
