The only problem is the kids. My oldest is very helpful, but sometimes very demanding and dramatic. More problem is the youngest who has super strong will and very physical and loves to run away from me all the time. So, today was a test. How much can I handle???
First, we bought very sweet strawberries. They started eating them while we look around. That was totally fine with me, and I thought they were cute.
Then, we bought two different kinds of cheese. We love the cheese we bought last week, so we went back for more. They kept sampling, sampling, and sampling...
Here is what started to go down a little.
The youngest and I decided to eat a crape. It turned out she only wanted to eat whipped cream. I ate most of the rest. Then, the oldest want a breakfast sandwich. Pine State Biscuit has breakfast sandwich, and I could tell from the long line that they must be good. I decided to wait in line with two kids. I must have been crazy. The oldest might behave, but the youngest? Of course, she ran away from me like she always does. Did I think she would wait in line with us? Of course not. I made the oldest wait in the line as I went to grab the screaming child who wanted to run some more. Finally, we got to order, but the wait was another 5-10 min. So, the kids wondered around the trees and climbing some of them during the wait. Near the end of the wait, we went closer to Pine State Biscuit and made the oldest go up to them when they called her name. The guy refused to give her food because she was a child. She kept telling him "that is me. that is my food!" I had to yell out from 10 yard away "Yes, that is hers!!"
Finally, the oldest is somewhat happy with her breakfast sandwich, but that did not last long. After a few bites, she dropped the whole thing on the ground!! She is very upset and tears coming her cheeks saying "I wanted to have patty!" I salvaged the part that did not touch the ground; egg and bacon, and gave them to her.
Now, we want to look around some more but the youngest still refused to leave the tree area. She rather climbed the tree and fences than look around the market... I once again grab the screaming child, and when she gave up, I put her down and made her walk. Now, she was calmer and we got to see and shop some flowers. Before we left, the kids tried art booth that were there for the earth week. They got to make ladybugs using recyclable material (egg carton).
I am not traumatized from the expedition. I might give a try next week, again.
