August is clearly a month of celebration for our family, so when my Mom's Birthday rolled around on the 20th, we headed to Eau Claire for the weekend. The time went so fast, as it always does, but we were able to pack in lots of fun things in our two days there. One of my favorite places to go on Saturdays in the summer is the Eau Claire Downtown Farmer's Market. When I was a kid, downtown EC had nothing much to offer, but in the last decade or so, revitalization efforts have really given it a boost and it has become a fun family-friendly place to check out. The Farmer's Market is absolutely packed with people with their eyes on the delicious produce all grown from local farmers. There are artists, live music, and even the "Balloon Guy" who made Nolan an alligator and Livi a horsie. We all had a nice time.
We spent some time with the horsies, both plastic and real, while we were there. Both of the kids are gaining confidence which is really fun to see. I love being able to share my love for animals with them.
Sunday was spent celebrating this wonderful mom and grandma as she turned 56. We had a fish fry and a homemade French silk pie for dessert - yummy! Happy Birthday, Mom! We love you!
