Farmer's Market

One of the things Nick and I enjoyed most about living in Springfield, IL was using our cruiser bikes to ride around town.  We loved riding downtown to go out for a drink, or hit up Cold Stone Creamery, or the Farmer's Market, and arriving at church via bike.  But the cruiser bikes were so big we decided to sell them before we moved to Colorado. 

We could have made use of the bikes the first year that we lived in Eagle.  But once we moved to Gypsum, they wouldn't have been very useful since there is no downtown or real stores in Gypsum (aside from the grocery and now a Family Dollar). 

But tonight was a bit of a flashback to old times...we left the house about 430 pm and rode our bikes over to Eagle to check out the Farmer's Market.  The market wasn't at the park it's been at in the past, but we found fliers around town advertising its new location.  So we headed off on our bikes in search of the market.  Once we arrived, we got the kids out of the Chariot and walked around a bit.  Nick found some beets to make juice out of (hopefully he can explain this later), and we bought a loaf of bread, some mint and basil, and a cookie for the three of us to share before we headed home.  The find of the night was a new homemade pie store - and at her stand the lady happened to have strawberry rhubarb pies, which made Nick's night!

The ride to and from the Farmer's Market was a little further than it was in Springfield, and the market was a bit smaller than it was in Springfield, but we had a great time :)
