Day Out

Today we opted for a day out about town.  It seems there isn't often a day to just go around and enjoy our awesome community.  Today we did a little of that.  And we hope for more of it this summer!
We started off by playing in the wet grass and getting muddy.  And then needing to change clothes.  All before 9am.

First stop was the Farmer's Market downtown.  So many beautiful flowers and we picked out some yummy produce to start off the Farmer's Market season.

It was chilly!!!

We walked down to the river to see how HIGH and FAST the water is!  So much snow this winter followed by a lot of rain this spring has really made trouble for some areas.  So far, its not too bad in Eau Claire.

One of our favorite finds for this trip was the fresh asparagus!

I loved all the assortment of Dahlias - makes me want to have some!  It inspired our next stop:
Down to Earth Garden Center - becoming my fast favorite of all places in EC.  It has a unique beautiful  shop and the most amazing gardens, greenhouse, and grounds.  I love going there!  Its so inspiring!
This time around, we enjoyed lunch at their yummy cafe.  Hello: they serve ice water in Mason jars.  Amazing.

It was a great day that followed with lots of playing at home and a couple projects!!

We ended the day with a "PJ Run" - surprise trip for ice cream after jammies are on.  I think it was Eden's first PJ Run.  It was fun.  She loved it!
