Aurora Farmer's Market, fun with the family and a back yard potluck....

Where are we today ?

Aurora Ontario

        A much cooler day today, nice breeze and we found it quite comfortable compared to what we have been having. So head on over to Kim and Brian's for 9 am and we can walk to the Aurora farmer's market.

         Our two grandson's were busy with friends and stuff so Suzie, Kim along with our cheerfull granddaughter headed over to check out the market.

lots of specialty smoked and cured meats.

Gramma can we go play?

so off they head to the playground

nice fresh veggies

fresh baked goods

bread and buns

Honey

        Kim managed to pick up all the goodies she needed the we went to find the girls.

there she is, in the jeep

now then can anyone resist the splash pad?

        Then a few block to walk back home to the "Traffic Calmed Neighbourhood".

        Now how do you calm the traffic in a neighbor hood? They add the huge "speed humps" on   all the streets kinda like the "Topes" in Mexico, sure is a great way to control speeding drivers.

        Then we were entertained by the antics of this blue eyed redhead for the rest of the afternoon. Telling us some great stories.

grandpa helped a bit

         Kim and Brian had been invited to back yard potluck with a few friends down the street and asked us to come along and join the gang. So Kim whipped  up a huge salad with roasted veggies and spinach and some raspberry macaroons (both gluten free).
       So down the street we go and the kids just had the run of the house and yard, burning up energy and keep themselves occupied.

         Then the guys on the deck BBQing three chickens (not on a Weber by the way). There was some flairups and burning issues, but they did get things under control and cook up these very tasty chickens. Not my party so we just enjoyed the socializing and chatting with new people. Most of the women hung out in the kitchen chatting and taking care of a few of the younger children.

then we enjoyed our meal in the gazebo,
corn on the cob, chicken and salad

a couple light deserts too

        Lively conversation  and chatting until we looked and its after 9 pm. We have a long 8 minute drive home so better get going, before I turn into a pumpkin, or fall asleep.  Opps us old people have to head home and let the young un's stay up later and have fun, been there done that.
         Thats's it for a fun saturday here and I did no cooking today! Hmm.. guess I better do some tomorrow.
         Thanks for stopping by hope you enjoyed this much cooler weather today, I was getting spoiled with this heat wave and kind of enjoying it.
