"Sweet" days

Our most recent field trip was definitely the tastiest one yet -- it was to...

(Stacy is hereby nominated for "Best Field Trip Planner Ever"  I'm sure it would be a unanimous vote if put to the kids.)

The first part of the tour consisted of letting the kids run around the main scooping room, checking out the various flavors on-hand.  Pretty "cool."

Then, we all moved into the back room, and lined up to go into the really cold rooms (freezer).

Yep -- it was cold back there!

Then the kids got to watch a batch of cotton-candy explosion get made.  (Strider, below with his hand raised, of course had some opinions and suggestions about the process)

So exciting!

And then it was time to sample -- and get big cones!

(Afterwards we all went to a park and let the kids run around for awhile, and then tried to pry some veggies into them after their ice cream lunch.)

 

Another "Sweet" day we had last week was when Miss Wendy came over to play -- and make cookies for a retreat she was putting together.  Of course this was a major treat for the kids! 

And, finally, Strider had a "sweet" time when his friend Sam came over for the whole day on Friday.  Those two are quite a pair!  My favorite sweet moment was this one, when they were working together to convert Base 10 numbers into binary code, and vice versa.  It was fun to see them put their heads together for the challenge!

 Strider will definitely disagree that this was the sweetest moment, but my answer to that, as always, is "Hey, it's MY blog."  :)
