Farmer's Market, again!

Our first summer in Beaverton we (or I) went to the Farmer's Market nearly every weekend. I think we missed maybe three. Last summer, our first on the top of a hill, we went rarely. This year we are determined to not let that happen again. We love going to the Farmer's Market, and we are much more used to riding up our hill. 


Greg returned from a trip to Moab, UT/Fruita, CO on Saturday, about 3AM. You can read about that on his blog: www.hack-mtb.blogspot.com. He called on the way home and wondered if I was planning to ride to the store Saturday. Of course I was, but it was a great surprise to let him know that it was opening day at the Farmer's Market. He wanted to go with the whole family. So, despite the small amount of sleep, we all rode our bikes (Greg pulling Olivia on the trail-a-bike). It was a blast. We always buy pastries and bread from the Fressen Bakery stand. Otto took all the pictures. 




The next day we had to go to several stores; Otto needed new shoes and always we need more groceries. Olivia wanted to come again and the weather was beautiful. Target, Payless Shoes, Home Depot, Fred Meyer and Trader Joe's were our route. 




These pictures also show my new bike which Greg bought me this last winter. I objected at first because I felt I was doing fine shopping with my cruiser and this bike was certainly not free. However, Greg said it would make a huge difference hauling weight with a bike that was made for that purpose. As usual, he was right. We LOVE shopping by bike!
