I love the market!

I love living in Des Moines. There is so much to do and so much to see. It's big, but not too big. One of my favorite things about Des Moines is the Farmers Market. There are so many booths and it is so busy, but it is relatively easy to get to and from and we're really not too far away. My last trip I decided to snap a few pictures from the parking garage. I wanted you to see how busy it gets. Unfortunately, I didn't do it until the end so there weren't many people. Oh well! It's so crowded that I don't go with Tyler. I just don't want to push him around in the stroller. There are always plenty of strollers (and tons of dogs!) but I don't want to bother with it. So it usually turns into time out with a friend. The parking garage is pretty much in the middle so I got a good view. There are also some side streets that you can't see. This trip I picked up some zucchini and yellow summer squash to make this pasta primavera.

Here are some pictures of me and Tyler hanging out on the couch. Dan remarked at how pale Tyler is. Finally, someone paler than me! It's also a true testament to how well Target's sunscreen works. =)

The patio work has begun! Here is a before picture. You can see the pavers stacked up on the right. Those are the ones we got free from our friends. We are buying more from Lowe's to go with them.

And now there is a big hole!

Here is Tyler helping out. This is why you have kids right? To put to work around the house?
