Going to the grocery store with four kids is hectic, however trying to bring them all to an open market with lots of people and LOTS of places to hide, is down right nerve wracking. I can honestly say that I have never been to a Farmers market before, so it was a new experience for me. My two youngest children had a blast, it was fun for them to see all the people, stands and tents. When Nikyla and Kiana get excited it includes a whole lot of running around and screaming! As we attempted to walk through the Market, I noticed that the prices were more than I had expected them to be. Although, while I was looking at prices my kids were tasting things from various stands and picking out all the things they wanted to buy.
Since my kids all love fruit I figured I would buy some and make fruit salad for a Saturday afternoon snack. My older kids helped me pick out the fruit they wanted picking strawberries, grapes and raspberries. By this time my two older kids, Dominic, Mia and I were tired of chasing the girls around.Thus, we decided that our adventure at the Farmer's market was over. Needless to say, I was not able to conduct any type of conversation with stand owners.
After we left the Farmers Market, we stopped at the grocery store to get the rest of the ingredients for our fruit salad. Cool whip is an essential for fruit salad when it comes to my kids.We went home and the kids helped me put the fruit salad together, which was fun. The entire family sat down and enjoyed the fruit salad. This assignment made for an interesting and fun day for my kids and I.
