A Little Adventure Downtown








We took advantage of the lovely fall day and went downtown to check out the new Waterfront Park.  We had lunch at Warehouse 23.  I thought the prices were pretty reasonable. 
After lunch we walked along the waterfront so we could go out on the walk out over the river.  The littles got a kick out of it.  They also loved meeting all the dogs down there.  There was a place you could get down by the water if you were brave enough to traverse over the rocks.  Some of those rocks were wiggly.  Did not stop the little man at all.  The little woman was wearing her boots and they weren't as secure so she did not make it to the bottom. 
Once we had looked at everything and talked about the condos and apartments being built there, we made our way back to our car.  Moved it so we could go to the park at Esther Short Park.  Farmer's Market was still going on.  And the first thing we saw was mini pumpkin decorating for free.  So each little had to do that.  They held onto the mini pumpkins for us while we played.  They also gave kids boo bucks to spend at the market.  Just imagine how excited my littles were when they discovered those boo bucks could be used for cotton candy.  I got a bag of cranberries and big bag of apples.  Later it kind of struck me that those guys at that stand really did not charge me enough.  But we are going to enjoy those apples in a crisp tomorrow at Uncle Pat's house.  I also got a cat nip toy for Sunset, who LOVED it. 
It was a great adventure and every one was mostly behaved.  We never expect perfect behavior because that isn't ever going to happen.  Small mishaps we can handle.
