The Farmer's Market

I'm honestly a very lucky mama.  Why?  All four of my crazies LOVE fresh fruit and veggies.  I mean, LOVE them.  Last night's dessert was fruit with a tiny dollop of whipped cream on top and they were so excited that they chattered about it for hours.  They prefer veggies and ranch dressing to chips. 
So this morning, Crazy #1 goes off with her friend to a softball game and I'm sitting around wondering what to do with the other three crazies.  What to do, what to do....hmmm we need to run to the store anyway.  Why not hit the farmer's market while we're at it?  So I ask them if they want to go....resounding YES!!!  They love it!
What do they love so much?  They love being able to go and pick out whatever they like or even what they want to try.  I love inexpensive prices, fresh local produce and picking out something different from the norm.  A cooler full of fruits and veggies for under $30 is my kind of bargain.  If I had the refrigerator space for the enormous watermelons that were 33 cents/pound, I would have snatched one up in a  heartbeat! 
I wish I had a bigger refrigerator, extra room for produce and more opportunity to go and get the fresh food from the Farmer's Market.  I think I'd rarely shop anywhere else!
