Giant Bubbles at the FeelGood Market

I have yet to write about the awesome farmers marked held a couple of blocks from us every Saturday, and I will soon. Today I want to write about another market, which happens once a month, every  third Sunday of the month, and is less than a mile from us in another direction. It is called the FeelGood Market . It is a huge space that allows mostly local vendors to sell their products. It ranges from pottery and jewelry, to baby clothes and accessories, shoes, bags, kitchen gear and more. There are also many stands with treats and specialty food, such as cheese, sausages, preserves, canned and baked goods. Outside for lunch or early dinner you can choose from food options of different cuisines, including american:-)

You can spend the afternoon browsing the stands, trying things on, talking to the vendors and eating samples. There are other things to do too. There is a live music, bounce house, face painting and many crafts and games for kids. You can also participate in workshops, such how to be a DJ or drumming. Phillip picked up a souvenir – swiss army knife striped of the plastic cover and put into a wood setting by a local wood carver.

We had a lot of fun, but the best 2 euros we spent was for a big bucket of bubble liquid that comes with wands to blow giant bubbles. We all took turns to see who can make the biggest and longest lasting bubbles. Making the bubbles last was a little difficult with all the kids running around truing to pop as many as possible:-)

We ended the day with some potato tornadoes, which are genius, I am surprised I have not seen it in US yet. You can watch how a raw potato is cut into a spiral, put on a screwer and deep fried, so you have a huge spiral chip on a stick. You can pick a seasoning flavor too. Another great weekend in Netherlands for us!
