We originally planned on going to Maumee Bay for the day to play in the sand, swim, play on the playground, and enjoy a picnic lunch with some of our friends. As luck would have it the weather did not cooperate. Instead of being a warm June day it was rather cool, especially in the morning and by Lake Erie the temperature is usually a few degrees cooler. So we cancelled our Maumee Bay day and just went with the flow….wherever the day took us. And where it took us was to the Library where the kiddos signed up for the Summer Reading Program and then after lunch and quiet time we went to the Farmer’s Market. Surprisingly, the day was delightful. It was one of those days where all the kiddos seem to get along well, no arguing, no meltdowns, no toddler tantrums or mommy tantrums, just a perfect day. Thought I would share some pictures from our perfect day…I will treasure today!
Here we are signing up for the Summer Reading program, each kiddo then carefully selected 6 books to checkout in order to get them started on their summer reading. ( I also added a few books on CD and tape….our preschooler feels more independent that way).
Then, after a light lunch and quiet time, quiet time that actually turned into nap time for all 3. Yes, that’s right, all 3 of my kiddos napped. And that is not all; I actually had to wake them up to go to the Farmer’s Market. Told you, the perfect day! Once up they counted out their change from their piggy banks in hopes of scoring cool stuff from the Farmer’s Market. Then we headed to the Market…..
First Stop, Kettle Corn…everyone got samples and we stopped to watch it being made, our son’s favorite.
Then we stopped to smell the candles and our daughter decided to spend her loot on the delicious, colorful, princess candles…her words, not mine.
We grabbed some fresh pizza bread for dinner and strawberries for dessert.
All that shopping had them parched….Raspberry lemonade please……
My little photographer forgot to include my head, lol!……….
Then we headed home for dinner…..
Have you ever had one of those days where your plans went awry? How did your day play out? Or, maybe you have experienced one of those perfect days?
