Weekend Round-up: From Farms to Falafel

Just another crazy fun filled weekend in the Isaacs house.  It's not a normal weekend unless it is filled to the brim with activities, I don't think we'd know what to do anymore if we had quiet time!  

Saturday we made it to the Reston Farmer's Market for the first time of the season.  We had a great time walking around checking out all the stands and Lincoln loved the fountain located in the center and the jam band that was set up by all the vendors.  We came out with some fresh salsa, strawberries, a tomato plant for my topsy turvy tomato planter, and a blueberry muffin for snack later that morning.  All in all a successful trip for sure!

After that stop we headed to the Reston Zoo to make good use of our season passes.  Lincoln had a great time seeing all the animals again.  He did refer to all the animals (goats, chickens, turtles, monkeys) as "dog" though...we'll work on that.  It was fun to see all the new babies since we were there a few weeks ago!  

Sunday we did our usual Gymboree class but the focus was climbing and jumping so Lincoln was extra worn out, which did not workout well because we were supposed to stick around and try out the next level class after his normal class to see if we wanted to move up.  Well, Linc was having none of it, he kept saying "no, no" and "all done".  It was clear he was spent.  

So we gave him a sippy of water and a squeezable applesauce and he was out in a matter of minutes once his tush hit his car seat.  Our next stop was to the mall to run a few errands and let him play a little in the kids play area, which was very clean and really nice, so if you ever find yourself in the vicinity of Fair Oaks Mall and you wanna hit up a play area it is pretty sweet and Lincoln approved!  After all of that it was time to hit up the main event of our Sunday...the Israeli Street festival.  We met up with Cyndi and the boys and explored Fairfax Corner and all the kosher fun it had to offer.  

We decorated blue yarmulkes for all the boys at a table setup by Cyndi & Matt's temple and played in a sandbox at the Gesher booth, read books at PJ Library, and we had schwarma for lunch YUMMY!  It was a good time until rain and the threat of a storm ruined our good time, boo.  But the rest of our afternoon was spent hanging out on the balcony at home and playing with our new water table.
