farmers market & a fountain

we took the gang to the farmer's market-
our new favorite saturday am activity.
it was a gorgeous sunny day- and there
were tons of kids playing around in the fountain
at the market...it wasn't long before kali
and jackson were soaking wet and having the
best time ever....

on our way- jackie, auntie sara & kali

headed to the market. with her purse of course.

fountain #2

we just discovered the park right near our house
also has a water/fountain feature!!!
yes, this was be our 2nd fountain visit
of the day...but at least we came prepared
this time and brought proper swimsuits
and towels. jackson held his own with the big kids,
even though the water was freezing cold.
can't wait for more hot days and more fun times!
