Today we went to the farmer’s market to buy some tomatoes for our Wee Friends garden!  Friday mornings are a great time to go and explore the market with a small group of children because it’s much more mellow than the normal hustle and bustle of busy Saturday mornings.  As we walked through the market, we were greeted by many friendly vendors.  One of them, Healing World Crystal and Minerals, generously let each Wee Friender pick out a beautiful rock to take home!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As we went through, we smelled delicious smells.  The kids readily recognized all different sorts of flowers, herbs, fruits and vegetables.  Owen noted the trillium flowers in pots matched those we see in the woods at Prairie Winds Farm! 

We stopped at the Vites’ booth and Ms. Diana helped us pick out tomato and sweet pea pod plants to finish our garden.  She was very kind to our group and generously offered each child their own plant start to take home and grow! Please remember to grab your child’s plant to take home with you this weekend!

Finally, after a quick vote, it was determined that we needed a market watermelon to bring back for our lunch. And we fortunately chose a juicy and delicious one!

Have a great weekend! (The classroom blog will be posted later!)
