We spent a week in Rutland, Vermont which is in the Green Mountains. It was amazingly beautiful and some of us cleared trails for 2 days so we got to be IN the mountains... lots to tell about the trip, someday.
For now... at the end of the week I hauled the girls up to Waterbury, the home of the BEN & JERRY'S FACTORY. AMAZING. Abby and I had a great day moose spotting on the way there and back, eating ice cream, visiting the factory and flavor grave yard, and generally enjoying beautiful Vermont. The girls? Not nearly as excited, but none the less, Abby and I LOVED it!
More about the trip to come, but for now, here are some pics of our factory adventure!
Yup... I KNEW this would be a place I loved when I saw this sign at the entrance...
Abby's favorite is Phish food... its one of the top 10 flavors so it gets its own poster on the wall of fame. Abby approves!
After the tour we got a free pint of ice cream. Abby got Phish Food of course, I got Oatmeal Cookie Chunk. It wasn't even noon yet, but we decided to give it our best go to eat the whole pint... you know, for the experience and such...
Notice that we ate our ice cream with purple shovels. Yup. Told you it was a good day! This is about how far Abs got before she called it a day (and believe me, we were FEELING it all day!)
I did a little better.. but still couldn't finish it off! Good stuff though!
Ahhh... youth group summer adventures.
Beautiful mountains,
watching for moose all day,
a pint of ice cream before noon.
BEST. DAY. EVER.
