Trying New Things

Yesterday was the first day on my new medicine. I think that it helped some because I had a very busy day full of new things. First thing the kids and I did was to find the local farmers market. We found it and bought some sourdough bread. We did not buy any veggies or fruits. It was my first time buying at a farmers market and I couldn't decide what to get. We will definitely go back.

Next, we went to the library. The kids and I love the library. The library has started its summer reading program. The kids get points for books they read. They can save up their points and earn little prizes. They are also entered into a drawing to win various larger prizes for every 20 points they earn. We spent probably an forty-five minutes looking for books.

After we loaded our haul of books into the van, we went over to a downtown festival. They had booths set up and activities for the kids. They had a fire engine. They had 3 bounce things; a bounce house, a huge slide and an obstacle coarse. There was also some ladies set up with free pony rides, face painting and music. I am sure I am forgetting something. It was very fun. I am excited to learn about these local activities.

We left there hot and hungry. After lunch, I went to an MS expo. They had a few vendors and they had various speakers. It was actually an all day event. I went for the second half after lunch. I was able to hear from a few MS doctors. I had almost talked myself out of going because I was going by myself. I was nervous. But I am glad that I went. I learned some new information. I made myself talk to some of the vendors. I am still very shy at times, especially when I am by myself. I wanted to talk to a few of the people there, but I didn't. I will work on that next time. Overall it was a great day!
