Saturday Fun...

One of the things we love most about Fayetteville is the Farmers Market....

The kids love all the live music and picking out fresh fruit....especially blueberries!

After making our rounds at the Farmer's Market, we decided to head down the street to the library....

Ava Kate loves to do anything her big brother is doing, so of course she had to try the computers too!

They would have picked out 100+ books if I would have let them.....

 One of Owen favorite parts....checking out the books all by himself!  

Weekend fun....

All ready for the Farmer's Market....

 

 sweetness...

 my boys....

After the farmer's market we headed to the Fayetteville Library for their summer kick off.  They had lots of fun activities set up for all the kids....Ava Kate was entertained by all the chaos and Owen had a blast going through all the stations and winning a prize at the end.

he liked the baseball so much that he asked her to paint one on the other hand too...

 Ava Kate enjoyed watching everyone and everything, but the balloon was her absolute favorite....

And we couldn't leave the library without a little computer time...

checking out the books all by himself...

jumping the last bit of energy out before heading home for naps....

Birthday Celebration continued....

We celebrated Owen's Birthday as a family on Friday. Josh and I took off to spend the day with him and Papa Bart came in town too, so he got to spend the day with us as well. We started the day off by sleeping in and eating yummy (low-fat) cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Then we headed to the Library...

This was Owen's first trip to the Library...and he did seem to care much for the books. He picked up a few, but preferred to play with the puzzles and the computers. I think he may associate books with bedtime! Ha!

He liked playing the toddler games on the computer, but he was not a fan of wearing the head phones. He would put them on for a few seconds (at most 1 min) and then pull them off again.

We ended up checking out quite a few books....and Owen was all about the check out process. He only read a few books while we were at the Library, but really enjoyed them at bed time that night.

After the Library, we head to Lofin Joes for lunch and then to Orange Leaf for some frozen yogurt. The "ice cream" was Owen's favorite!!! He picked out his own flavors and all the toppings...luckily he still thinks that fruit is the only topping you can put on ice cream!

He chose chocolate and strawberry ice cream and pulled the lever himself....

diggin' in...

and the sugar kicks in...

We ended the day at Chuck E Cheese's! This was also Owen's first trip to Chuck E Cheese's...and he was a little overwhelmed at first. He walked around staring at everything with his mouth wide open for the first 10 minutes....and then he jumped right in! Luckily Papa Bart and Gigi were there to help keep up with the "wild man"!

We played for a little while and then took a break for some pizza and juice!

Owen attempting to play skee ball...

Then he figured out his own way to play....

This was one of Owen's favorite games....and he was really good at it! Josh showed him how to do it the first time and he caught right on. He won every time without help! As you can tell from the picture, it took a lot of concentration!

Owen really enjoyed this one! He was too short to pedal, so daddy helped him out!
