To Market....Or Not!

We decided to save the Little Rock River Market for our day with Ross and looked forward to enjoying this waterfront farmers market along with a ride on the Little Rock Trolley.

Another event, Riverfest, was taking place this weekend in the riverfront amphitheater. What we didn't realize till we got there was that the River Market was blocked off in the ticketed area with Riverfest. The 3 day ticketed event had a $25 per person charge so we were unable to even get to the Farmers Market, and worst of all the trolley was blocked off too.

Ross and Taya did some quick thinking and we headed back to the Historic Arkansas Museum. On the way we ran in the Shriner parade which was way too loud and aggressive for our two little ones, so we cut across blocks to take the back way to the museum.


Sadly we did have to walk right past the blocked-off trolly's. But we did get to go into the Peabody Hotel and visit their famous ducks for a few minutes.
Isaiah enjoyed a chat with this duck about standing on one leg.
