Farmers Market

I've been wanting to go to the farmers market ever since it opened, but there has been something every Saturday that has kept me from going.

Last Saturday, all the stars aligned, and it was the perfect day to go. ( It looked like everyone else in the Salt Lake Valley had the same idea...sooooooooo many people! )

But it was still very fun!

Candice rode her bike over and met us. We just had a lovely morning walking around, looking at every one's goods for sale and enjoying the random entertainment and people watching.

This sweet lady was making balloon animals for the kids. She was blind and had her seeing eye dog laying right next to her. She would ask what they wanted...(Liv: A flower please), then hold out her bag of balloons and let them pick the color. ( Pink, of course)

She had them put together in no time, but kept apologizing for how long it took her.

She would talk softly with the kids as they waited for their balloon and soon, the one's that seemed a little afraid of her at first, were right up next to her telling her why they liked the animal they had picked for her to make.

After we had seen all there was to be seen, and eaten our yummy tacos and samosas, we sat in the shade and relaxed a bit.
Aunt Chewey and Liv played hide and seek, then pretend bunny and kitty.

Pretty much the perfect day.
