Grandpa's Garden

While my parents were visiting, they went on a bike ride in Santiago Canyon and saw a sign for a farmer's market in Silverado Canyon called Grandpa's Garden. It's a beautiful 10-minute drive from our house, so we decided to go check it out. Then I took Ryan back with us again last weekend.

Ryan went sailing today. I took JD & Maia on a great 90 minute walk this morning when it was still cloudy and cool, but after the sun came out we were all looking to get outside again...

So...

Nikki and I decided to take the babies to Silverado Canyon to get some produce...
They were relatively well-behaved in the car and ANGELS at Grandpa's Garden...
There weren't many people there so we chatted with "Grandpa" Mike and "Grandma" Colleen for a while, and walked back to see where our vegetables were grown and to meet the chickens that laid our eggs that very morning....
Grandpa Mike took out his camera and got pictures of JD & Maia in front of his produce stand so he could show everyone "his twins" that visit every weekend...
Just as good as the produce, is the fact that the outing wore out my babies...
And they are still sleeping, so I have been able to make myself a delicious vege/egg/cheese scramble with all the pickings from the garden and chicken coop AND write this blog...
We even picked up a jar of dill pickles canned by Grandma Colleen herself to give to Ryan when he gets home from his sail....

If you live in Orange County, whether you have kids or not, go pick up some home-grown organic produce & eggs. A variety of jams, honeys and pickles, too. Tell them that "the twins" sent you...
