We made a summer wish list and on it was visiting the Farmer's Market in St. Albert.
One of my favourite things to do is hit up local, eclectic businesses and often Farmer's Markets are composed of just those sort of people. Graham's Mom had previously lived in St. Albert so the we knew how awesome the market was having gone with her and were eager to go again. There were many creative people and totally beautiful things! I bought a few hair clips for the girls (like they really need more?!!) and took a card for a business that makes metal house numbers, way cool. There was a mini donut stand which we tasted, of course! It was just such an enjoyable day, relaxed and chill! I love days when we don't have a bazillion things to do and don't have to rush. We need to try and make more of those happen. Also making today great was that Mr. P returned from Scout Camp, a week is a long time! He got home just in time for bed. Sweet, tag teaming the kids is always so much nicer then doing it alone. Post supper time still remains one of my favourite parts of the day, for obvious reasons but also because I love the rhythm of the evening and the slower pace our family has as we have cuddles n stories and chat about our day. For sure there are daily...hourly frustrations but those quiet moments with the people I adore most in the world seem to wipe the craziness away.
Totally love these peeps! And the big peep Mr. P not photographed below. Does this pic from the Farmer's Market not scream SUMMER! Hats, sunglasses, water and slurpee...oh ya!
