Wednesday can be a drag - especially in the summer - we're so close but yet so far to summer weekend fun! So we've been getting out and about on Wednesdays this summer - starting with our trip to a nearby farm for Pirates and Princesses night:
After we mixed and mingled with Jack Sparrow and the Princesses, we played on the farm's playground:
And had a yummy dinner and some deep conversations with our pals:
The following Wednesday we went to the Garden State Discovery Museum for "Groovin' and Grubbin'"
The intention was to get a bite to eat, take advantage of the museum's $5 admission price, and then hear some music. We never made it into the museum thanks to all the fun activities such as a bouncy house!
There were crafts and food trucks (grilled cheese! cupcakes! watermelon!) and then there was an awesome kids' concert. The kids had a blast dancing and wiggling to the music. It turns out this musician came to their school a few days later - the kids were thrilled!
Then we played in the museum's garden:
The next Wednesday we went to Collingswood to check out the Quaker City String Band perform. We got some "wudder" ice, too!
And then last night, Mommy was NOT in the mood to cook. So we went to Chipotle for dinner. The kids' meal is idea - Sean eats the quesadilla and chips while Clare eats the rice and beans... and lemons, of course:
There was a concert going on near the restaurant - Hotlanta, an Allman Brothers tribute band! We bumped into a few friends - the friends we met up with at Pirates and Princesses night, actually - and the kids danced, ran around, and amassed a small collection of balloon animals while listening to some good tunes :-)
When I picked the kids up from daycare tonight, Sean eagerly asked if we were going to another concert tonight! He was sad when I said we weren't but we did get to go check out a new farmers' market - it wasn't nearly as good as good as the Farmer's El, but we did pick up some good corn and tomatoes.
