With how things have been going we have not had the opportunity to really do any day trips anywhere. So here is a little about a day we just had last Saturday. It was a busy day, and it was a lot of fun.
We started our day by going down to the Farmer’s Market in Vancouver. We like to go and look at the fresh food, flowers, plants, produce, and art that people sell. The market has just started a new season, so we have not been in a while.
One of our favorite places is a food stand that is run by a family from Kazakhstan. They sell several Russian foods and some Kazakhstani food. It is very delicious. Our favorite is the Pelmeni (a dumpling-like food). I would have taken a picture of it, but we ate it too quick. This is a satisfied Ruth after eating them:
And here is Ruth with the “Meat Pockets” that we also got:
On the way home is when we saw the Viking Ship. 
We also stopped by the soon-to-be-finished Vancouver Public Library, which was also be across the street from the old Academy and some pretty trees.
That afternoon, we went to another baptism for some children in our primary class. This time there were two boys. It was very nice to be able to go and see them.
When we got home we watched as several hailstorms rolled through. We enjoy listening to the rain and there has been a lot of it this month. But hail is uncommon. I liked the look of it on the moss:
Then we finished this wonderful day with a delicious dinner. We took the rest of the meat from this guy (sautéed in butter and garlic):
and put it on this, along with sauce, cheese, and lemon zest:
The result was one of the better pizzas that Ruth has made. It was great.
It was a good day.
