A trip to the fruit stand








Our city is under this smoke you can't even see our town.


What a fun day!
We all got up the morning trying to decide what to do for the day. It was much too smokey to do anything outside, so I suggested we go to a fruit stand about 45 Min's out of town. To maybe escape the smoke.
We were so close to the next town over we decided to go wander around there mall. I had never been there. Well that didn't take up too much time so we stared at each other for a bit trying to think of what we could do next since it was still so smokey. Another town over was only 20klms away and they have this great cheese factory, where you can watch through a big window. And sample a bunch of different cheeses. We walked down to the grocery store and picked up a few snacks and sat outside trying to decide what next. After not haven't a clue what to do when headed home. As we were driving we saw a sign that said " Go back in time" so we went to have a look we found the greatest outdoor museum!
We had so much fun! The kids got to try gold panning and bring home their nuggets of "gold" you get to tour all the old building from that area. It was alot of fun!
I'm so glad we stopped. It was such a great family day, that was completely unplanned. Those always end up being the best.
Therefore I didn't bring my camera :( So on the way home I stopped to pick up my 20lbs of peaches and then we were home.

Wow ... so much smoke!! We finally have a bit of rain here which is making everything fresh and green!

Sounds like a great bit of fun had by everyone. I love just getting into a vehicle and driving from place to place, where ever the road leads.
