splish splash and Scooby Doo

We just got back from spending a few days up in Avon (a few miles past Vail) and baby jeffrey went for a dip in the pool for the very first time at the Avon rec. center. The rec center had an indoor pool for kids and I think jeffrey had a great time splish splashing in the water. Big sis nael wanted to go on the big water slide but unfortunately, the slide was only for kids 48" and up. Little nael usually goes on the big slide with snowboarder at the Apex rec. center indoor pool so she couldn't understand why she wasn't able to go this time. Little nael finally settled for one of the 2 kiddie water slides that was there and splashed around with her baby brother.

The following morning, we headed to Minturn which was the next town east of Avon. Since snowboarder and I both love Farmer's Markets, we decided to check out the Farmer's Market at Minturn which was supposedly a must-see, can't miss event on a Saturday with over 100 vendors. The place was busy and filled with a variety of booths BUT in our opinion, only a handful of fresh produce/fresh fruit vendors. There were clothing, shoes, bags, vintage posters, windchimes, sno-cones, creperie, bbq, pasta, humms, etc. Nonetheless, we had lunch there and enjoyed a beautiful summer afternoon outdoors but left empty-handed. The highlight of little nael's afternoon though was seeing Scooby Doo parading around and giving him a high five (twice)!
