Farm Fresh Friday- Our Trip to St. Jacob's Ontario Photo Story

SNACKS FOR THE ROAD, YUP THERE'S PISTACHIOS

WAY TOO EARLY TO BE UP AND ON THE ROAD

I FEEL LIKE SINGING "ON THE ROAD AGAIN, I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GET ON THE ROAD AGAIN..."

AS WE LEAVE ESSEX COUNTY AND GET CLOSE TO ST. JACOB'S WE ARE THRILLED TO SEE ROLLING HILLS

BUT SO BUMMED WHEN WE SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THE PARKING LOT

IT'S ALL GOOD THOUGH AS I GET TO GO SEE PEDDLARS AND A VILLAGE

BUT THEN I SEE HORDES OF PEOPLE AGAIN

THEN HAPPY AGAIN WHEN I SEE THE HORSEYS

AND THIS IS WHERE I START JUMPING UP AND DOWN IN EXCITMENT

AND MINI-ME (YOU CAN SEE HER ARM THERE) TELLS ME TO MELLOW OUT

AND BEGS ME NOT TO STEAL THE MOPED AND RIDE AROUND ON IT

I BEHAVED THEN MADE LADIES MAD BY TAKING PICTURES OF THEIR BEHINDS, NOT ON PURPOSE BUT THEY WERE STILL MAD

MOST PEOPLE WOULD STOP BUT I JUST KEPT TAKING PICTURES OF  MORE  BEHINDS, IT'S HARD TO AVOID HERE

I MADE A MENTAL NOTE TO GO BACK FOR THESE THEN LOST  MY MENTAL NOTE

AND MAY HAVE SANG "THE HILLS ARE ALIVE WITH THE SOUND OF MUSIC"  REALLY LOUD WHEN I SAW THESE

THEN WAS DISTRACTED BY THE HUGE MELONS

THEN SOMEHOW GOT CAUGHT UP IN CHERRIES AND BOUGHT $20 WORTH, WHO NEEDS THAT MANY

SERIOUSLY WHO CAN RESIST ALL THIS FRUIT

I WANTED SOME OF THESE BUT THEY WOULDN'T FIT IN MINI-ME'S BAG

I WAS SUPPOSE TO GO BACK FOR THESE TOO CUZ HER BAG WAS FULL AND SHE WAS FALLING OVER

BUT THEN I SAW THESE AND WENT CUCKOO

HERE IS WHERE I JUST STARTED TO TWITCH AS IT WAS ALL TOO MUCH FOR LITTLE OLD ME

HERE'S WHERE I SAID WTF ARE THESE, THEN MINI-ME GOT MAD I SWORE IN THE AMISH VILLAGE

SO I BOUGHT HER SOME APPLES AS A PEACE OFFERING

AND LOTS OF BREAD CUZ IT'S HARD TO YELL AT YOUR MOM WITH BREAD IN YOUR MOUTH

HERE'S WHERE WE RESISTED THE URGE TO OVERLOAD ON JAMS  SO I DON'T NEED A JAM FRIDGE

MINI-ME BOUGHT HER BRO SOMETHING HERE

HERE IS WHERE MINI-ME SCORED CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES,  SHE STOLE ALL MINE, OH OKAY SO I GAVE THEM TO HER BUT THAT SOUNDS LESS EXCITING

I ASKED THE PASTRY DUDE IF I COULD TAKE A PIC

THEN TOOK ANOTHER

AND ANOTHER, THEN BOUGHT ONE OF EVERYTHING, HE REALLY LIKED ME AND MINI-ME GOT LOTS OF FREE SAMPLES

I SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT THESE BUT I HAD OVERLOADED MINI-ME'S BAG AGAIN, WE WERE ON TRIP 3 TO THE CAR AT THIS POINT

HERE'S WHERE I HAD MEMORIES OF MY MOM, SHE DID CERAMICS, WHICH IS  NOT THE SAME AS POTTERY BUT THAT'S WHERE MY MIND WENT

I WAS DROOLING OVER THIS BUT DIDN'T WANT TO EAT UNTIL WE WERE ALMOST DONE FOR THE DAY

I WANT A SIGN LIKE THIS IN MY HOUSE

AND ONE LIKE THIS TOO ON THE ROOF

NOT THIS THOUGH, THAT MEANS PEOPLE WOULD INTERRUPT ME WHILE COOKING AND WE ALL KNOW I HATE THAT

THIS MADE ME HOWL WITH LAUGHTER AND EMBARRASS MINI-ME

SO I FIGURED WALKING THROUGH THE BUILDING WITH THE FLASH GOING OFF EVERY 5 SECONDS WOULD NOT SEND HER OVER THE EDGE

BUT I WAS WRONG, SHE WAS NOT PLEASED

SO I SHOULD STOP RIGHT? YAH LIKE THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN

LOOK AT THE ANGRY MOB OF PEOPLE I TOOK PICTURES OF

BUT I WASN'T SCARED SO I TOOK MORE...AT A SAFE DISTANCE OF COURSE

THEN GOT SCARED BY THESE DOLLS, SERIOUSLY...FRIGHTENING

BUT THEN I WAS HAPPY AGAIN CUZ I SAW MINI HORSEYS

ONE OF MANY TRIPS BACK TO THE CAR AS MINI-ME IS NOT HE-MAN AND CANNOT CARRY EVERYTHING I BOUGHT

THIS WAS ON OUR WAY TO TOWN WHERE THE MILL STORES ARE

SO PRETTY RIGHT, MINI-ME TAKES GOOD PICS

MY FAVE PLACE, THIS IS THE OLD MILL THEY HAVE ALL THE LITTLE SHOPS IN

ER, STREET

DO NOT TELL MINI-ME I PUT THIS ON HERE, SHE WILL KILL ME, OR POKE ME TO DEATH

I WAS VERY DISTRACTED BY THIS MOVING DISPLAY CASE, APPARENTLY I DON'T GET OUT MUCH

MORE PEOPLE'S BEHINDS AND THE OIL AND SAUCE BAR, SERIOUSLY ...HOW COOL IS THIS PLACE

HERE'S ME MAKING PEOPLE MAD BY TAKING MORE PICS...OF MORE BEHINDS....AND THE CANDY SHOP

MINI-ME TRYING TO PRETEND SHE DOES NOT KNOW THE LUNATIC WHO'S TAKING THOUSANDS OF PHOTOS

I WISH I LIVED ON A STREET LIKE THIS

I DISTRACTED MINI-ME WITH BOOKS

THEN OFFERED HER ICE CREAM BUT SHE DECLINED, I SNAPPED THIS ANYWAY, IT'S OUR USUAL PLACE TO STOP FOR ICE CREAM

ER, TREE

OKAY IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO MAKE THIS GARLIC BREAD EMAIL ME STAT!!!!

IT WAS SO GOOD ME AND MINI-ME ENDED UP EATING THE WHOLE THING BY OURSELVES, NO LEFTOVERS

THEN WE HAD FISH N CHIPS, IT'S WHAT WE DO

ER, HOW DID THAT GET IN HERE

BACK SHOT OF THE MILL

MY FAVE SHOT OF THE DAY

WHAT I BROUGHT HOME, WTH ARE THESE, I KNOW THEY'RE BEANS BUT WHAT KIND
