Can you believe it? May 5th, Cinco de Mayo, first day of the Tower Grove Farmer’s Market, and there they were. Delicious, fragrant, juicy strawberries. Ah. I’m ready for summer.
It was the perfect kick-off to a hot 90-degree weekend, and despite certain someones being slightly melty and unpleasant in the heat…
I meant me, not Emil!
… we all managed to have a fantastic time!
Thanks, Lilly, for the recommendation of boys tank tops at babyGap– just what we were looking for!
We had plenty of delicious local goods from which to choose, though it was hard to decide what we would snack on with our friends once they arrived. At least now we know that everything is delicious!
We arrived at 9am and the market had already been open for an hour. It took the boys about 10 minutes to find the water to cool off (it’s going to be a HOT summer!):
When we met up with our friends Ingrid and Brent and their girls, Ingrid and I ran off to collect food while Brent and Andrew stayed with the kids at the water fountains. We came back with strawberries, rustic bread, salami, cheddar cheese, lemon creme goat cheese, and lemonade.
I must say, despite the heat and the fact that we didn’t stick around for as long as expected (Emil and Oliver were practically begging for a nap), we had such a wonderful time with our friends. Seriously, I just can’t get enough of these two and their awesome girls! We are so so so lucky.
Plus, check out this girl’s hair. Quite possibly the cutest little sweaty curls I ever did see.
We spent the rest of the weekend hanging out on the back deck while the three boys (yes, even Emil got in on the action!) played in the water. And I may or may not have drank some beer. Hope you had a wonderful weekend too!
Yay! They look adorable in the tank tops. Great pics and what a fun day. I can’t believe it’s so warm there- full on summer! I especially love the boys in the sprinklers with their undies. Makes me excited for potty training- I’ll have to peruse your archives to figure out when and how you did it 🙂
Looks like a lovely day! Lovin’ the boys in their tanks…too cute!
I can’t believe how hot the weather was this weekend! I’m glad you guys found some water to cool off with and some good food to eat! We’ll have to check out that market… the fresh food looked amazing!
I love a good set of farmers’ market pictures!! And your lunch sounds like it was delicious.. Three cheers for warm weather!
looks like the perfect way to soak up the warm weather. above all, beer, on a blanket with friends – bliss!
