My original plan for today’s Field Trip Friday was to go to see a children’s musician playing a lunchtime concert in a local park. However, when I saw the forecast called for temperatures in the 90s, I knew I needed another plan.

A couple towns away from us has a farmers market every Friday morning, which is located right next to the most amazing library I’ve ever seen. (It used to be my local library many years ago, and I miss it dearly.) Buddy and I went to check out the farmers market this morning before it got too hot, and then we went to play at the library.

It’s been years since I’ve been to a farmers market, and Buddy has never gone to one, so I was excited to go. My husband asked me to look out for some strawberries and rhubarb at the market. He loves making pies (he’s a keeper!), and he wants to make strawberry rhubarb pie this weekend. It didn’t take us too long to find what we needed, and we got some delicious cherry preserves as well.

After being out in the heat, we cooled off in the kids area of the library. This library has a huge play area for kids under age 5, and Buddy was so happy there. He had a great time with different types of blocks. He also had a lot of fun the big kids play.

Buddy could have played with these blocks for hours.

Buddy would have spent much longer there, but unfortunately, we had to go home for his next meal and nap time. We will definitely do the farmers market and library combination on another Friday this summer. Next time, I’ll try to leave earlier to allow more play time at the library.
