Farmer's Market and the Lake!

Matt has made it his thing to take the kids on a bike-ride every Saturday morning for breakfast at the farmers market (while they let me sleep-in!). The boys really look forward to it and they have a lot of fun. This time, I decided to go, too. I had a creamcheese and blueberry crepe, yum!


We then walked over to a sandy spot along the river and threw sticks and rocks and such in.



There's nothing like fresh veggies from the farmers market!

Last year around this time, we had just moved to Missoula. I took a pic of Matt and his boys in this same spot at that time. I think it should be tradition each year that we're here! The one from last year is in THIS post.



Later, we decided to head back to St. Mary's Lake and try a different spot over there. It was an awesome spot! We had more sun in this spot and plenty more space for the boys to walk around and still be in shallow water and play!

Drinks and...
sandwiches are a must at the lake!

I was on that float for quite a while since it was so soothing to just be in the water and have that weightless feeling (since I'm definitely NOT weightless as you can see by the way the floaty sunk in on my side...lol).

I really loved making these lake memories with our boys. I remember going to the lake or beach with my family when I was little and it was a joyous time. I remember my mom making bologna and cheese sandwiches and packing lots of snacks and drinks into a cooler. It's sometimes a lot of work to get everything prepared so we got smart this time around and put all of our swimming stuff in one spot in the front closet. We also just take our towels that we used last for showers or baths (so we don't have to do twice the amount of laundry). It's been worth it!
