Solo Aqui: Local Flavor

We've been quarantined to our home since last Thursday due to an icky virus that keeps poor babes awake at night and tired mama's finding themselves taking micro naps between the laundry. Fortunately we had enough energy last Thursday to hit our local Farmer's Market. We only have a few left and with the end of summer nearing we want to take advantage of as much local food goodness as possible. 

We snacked on berries, homemade Popsicles, oh and organic baby food from a local mom who makes some of the most scrumptious peeress.  E loved the zucchini and ricotta cheese mixture with a hint of nutmeg. 

Our flower vendor had buckets of star gazer lilies and bunches of lavender. Wanted one of each bouquet!

And, of course we had to sit on the grass listening to one of our local folk bands and snack on blackberries. A perfect ending to a lovely day.

May be in and out of this space infrequently then next few days as we hunker down and do a whole lotta resting. Wishing you and your family a truly lovely week!

Our Visit to Lindsay Wildlife Museum

 We had another rainy weekend and that meant no outdoor outings for us! So, instead, we headed over to the Lindsay Wildlife Museum for some hands-on fun with animals.

 The museum had a lot for a young wee one to explore. Lot's of animals down at his eye level and space for him to run, climb, crawl and just get some of that energy out!

 We came face to face with bunnies, hamsters, stuffer badgers and real live raptors...the feathered kind. All of the live animals at the museum are there due to an injury or are there to be rehabilitated and later released back into the wild.

 In addition to all the fun things to look at and do they also have an exploration room filled with toddler-friendly toys and games. E just loved running back and fourth between the rooms and the bunnies. Definitely difficult to choose how to spend his time.

What fun outings have your family been on lately?
