Being with my grandchildren makes me happy.
I like it when my kids invite me to go places with them and their children. On Friday I was tending Keiti and Troy. My daughter, Camille invited us to go to the Farmer's Market with her and her children. My daughter, Candice and her kids were there too.
Thanksgiving Point is a great place. This water contraption was definitely a fun place for all the kids to play.
When the levers are pulled, the water shoots up and out, soaking those who dare to get near it or those who are unsuspectingly walking by. The kids couldn't get enough of the fun!
It's a good thing it was a warm day because they were soaked!
We got 2 lemonades that were shared between 7 children and 3 adults. Yes, we all used the same straw! It's a good thing no one was sick (that we know of). The kids reminded me of little birds as they gathered around the lemonade with mouths open to have a drink.
Large ice cream cones were 50 cents. Who needs teeth when you're eating ice cream? Certainly not Ad.
For some reason, it was funny to smear ice cream on the face! Notice Kelsey's scraped nose. Shortly after arriving at Thanksgiving Point she did a face plant. There was so much blood we thought she had knocked out her teeth but you can see by her big smile that she still has 'em! (Yeah, we drew a lot of attention to ourselves while there)
You're probably wondering about the Farmer's Market. By the time we finished smearing ice cream, sharing the same straw and getting everyone wet, the vendors had taken down their booths. FYI, there were some beautiful fruits and vegetables there. Some vendors sold jewelry, signs, pillow cases and snow cones. The Farmer's Market is every Friday from 3 - 7. If you're in the area you should stop by. Tell them Connie sent you. On second thought, keep that on the down low, you may be asked to leave!

What a fun day! I love being with my children and GRANDchildren too. Our farmers market isn't near as fun as yours :) I would trade ya!
Those kids sure know how to have fun! What a beautiful bunch you have there Connie. The little one with all her teeth out and that big smile made me laugh!
I love Thanksgiving point! I would love to see it in the Fall!
Thank you for the heads up on "June 1St". Yes, I'm loosing it on a daily basis. I have no idea why June 1st came out of my head. LOL.
Thanks for dropping by! Have a great week!
Love, Brenda
I didn't even realize they had a Farmer's Market. Very cool.

I love Farmers Markets - it looks like you had lots of fun. Never been to Thanksgiving Point, although I've driven by many times. Next time I'll have to stop!
I'd love to live closer to go to Thanksgiving Point!! Someday I'll make it there!! :-)
Looks like you all had a FUN time!! Good for you! :-)
Cute pictures! I think you might-almost-pretty close-nearly-just about have as cute of grandkids as mine.......almost.
Now I need to try to go to Thanksgiving Point. I gotta see your face on the "wanted" poster!
I really need to go over there and see that water thing. It looks like loads of fun just waiting to take place with my family.
Glad you had a fun day with your grandchildren.
Looks like you had lots of fun with those cute grand-kids of yours. Nothing better than sharing with your loved ones.
We used to love Thanksgiving Point when we lived in Provo. Back then it was brand new and everything was free as far as exhibits. It was smaller though.
What a fun day. I've never been there. Now I will surely make plans to go.
Your grandkids sure are cute!
Who needs a farmers market when you can do those things???
Now that is what you call a real Grandma fun day...right down to sharing lemonade with the same straw! (even I wouldn't have been that courageous)
Looks like a perfect place to go with little ones (and not so little ones) on a hot day.
Love the photos, and the commentary.
Cute, cute kids.
You guys always have so much fun together, and I love that you can laugh and be silly :)
Looks like a great place to spend an afternoon. Thanks for the tips :)
I didn't know there was a Farmer's Market there---how fun. The water part looks more fun, though:)
I didn't know about the farmer's market either. Looks like lots of fun. You had me at the grandma part. I'm missing my Sophie big time.
I love all of the FUN you have with your grandkids...what a blessing it is to have so many of your kids and grand-kids live so close to you that you get to do so many FUN things together!
You are the BEST grandma! We share things ALL of the time...loved your comment about how they reminded you of baby birds as they gathered around waiting to get a drink.
My Ethan would absolutely LOVE that water contraption...wish we lived closer and I could take him for a FUN time to enjoy that.
Hope you are having a great week Connie!
I love farmers markets.....we went to one we love, it is an hour and a half drive from our place, even though there are some closer, we just love the drive there also.
Ohhhh, the wonderful veggies and pies and bottled pickles, relishes etc. The Hutterites (which is like Amish) are always there selling there goods and it is good stuff.
and yes the crafts, always lots of that. I always end up buying something.
that nose dive sounded painful...glad all teeth were intact.
Hey, I was dusting and doing some deep cleaning in my bedroom today, pulled down the photo you gave me at Matt's funeral (I wrote on the back who it was from) So I was thinking of you today
and what a gentle soul you have to do that for me.
To take the time....for someone you never met yet in person....and show love towards me and my family.
I will never forget you for that.
see.....Like they say. No good deed goes un-noticed.

Ice cream cones for 50 cents??? Wowie! And thosenkids ... They're darling!
Adorable grandbabies -- how many do you have?
I don't know if I've ever been to Thanksgiving Point ... yet another thing to add to my list :)
I love a good farmer's market! Didn't even know they had one at Thanksgiving point, might need to make a run out there
You like living on the edge, don't you?
Sounds like everyone had a fantastic time!
Glad to see you survived the wedding! My sister got married the exact same weekend and my mom barely survived! :) You are such a wonderful grandma, everyone is so lucky to have you!

Days like this are always a lot of fun...live them up before the snow flies.
Sounds like you had a great day!
Cute photos! We love Thanksgiving Point. I get a pass almost every year. Though I haven't seen that water contraption. I'll have to look for it the next time we're there. My kids would love that!
