Going Downtown

On Saturday we ventured out, heading downtown to the Old Town area in Wichita. First, we stopped at the Farmer's Market, which (silly me!) I thought would be a bunch of farmers selling fresh fruit and vegetables out of the back of their trucks or behind a little stand. There were big booths all over, selling everything from crafts, clothes, jewelry, jelly, and salsa, to locally grown chicken and buffalo meat. There were tons of fresh flowers for sale, as well as one booth with fresh veggies. They even had a band playing and singing folksy music down at one end. The kids enjoyed just hanging out for a while and looking at everything. Peek a boo!
After that we headed over to the area with the "tricky" fountain. Each row shoots off at different times and then occasionally they all fall silent for a while. Daddy took Joseph for an up close look (and feel!):
Catherine eventually got very enthused about the fountain and got very soaked:
I got wet, too, Mom:
