An adventure with the Osiers!



This picture was taken Monday, June 27th after we set out on an "adventure" near our home.  Adam and I were feeling kind of restless and wanting to get out of the house so we decided to go for a walk.  I strapped on the baby bjorn, placed Jacobi in it and we were off!  Our first stop was the Ruthfred Market which is just down the street from our house.  We weren't looking to buy anything in particular, but basically just wanted to see what they had in stock.  As we walked towards the back of the store we passed a gentleman who appeared to be a worker there.  He didn't have a uniform on or anything, but he was straightening up some of the produce.  A few minutes later we were deciding whether or not we wanted to buy some strawberries and we ventured back to the produce section when we ran into the same gentleman who then asked "do you know the store closes at 8pm?" to which we replied: "what time is it".  It was a few minutes after 8pm and we felt really bad so we started walking towards the door and then realized we should maybe buy something since we were keeping the workers past closing time, but then thought maybe they had already closed the cash register first so we asked and they hadn't so....we bought a bag of pretzels;)  After that we decided to stop in at the Family Deli next door...they were open until 9pm!  We again just wanted to browse as we are trying to familiarize ourselves with all of the stores/prices in the area.  We chatted with the workers and then were on our way again.  Next stop...a house across the street from the Market/Deli.  Don't worry, we didn't just drop in on some strangers...a couple from the church live there and we saw that they were working out in their garage so we wanted to stop and say "hi".  We were even more intrigued to stop when we saw the car they had parked in their driveway...a red chevy corvette!  We wiped the drool from our faces, I mean Jacobi's face(he is teething) ;) and went to say "hello".  We had a nice time visiting for a few minutes and then once again we were on our way.  By this time Jacobi was strapped to Adam and we decided to take the long way back to the house by walking around the church parking lot.  We walked pretty much the entire perimeter of the parking lot and then also the perimeter of the churches baseball diamond.  As we walked and talked we enjoyed some of the pretzels we bought at the Market.  As we were talking I kept saying "if neighbors can see us they must be thinking we are really weird...and bored".  Oh well.  :)  We finished our walk in the parking lot/baseball field and made the trek up our driveway, I took a picture of my two favorite boys and then we got Jacobi ready for bed.   
The End.

I hope you enjoyed the story of our recent adventure.  We really do lead a more exciting life than walks in grocery stores, parking lots and baseball fields.  We just haven't taken any pictures of the other fun things we have done...so, I thought we needed to start somewhere.  Enjoy! :)
