It had a few things that drew us to it. 1) The tour is inside and 2) Garrison and my Dad LOVE ice cream!
Jackson was are pumped up to go to the Ice Cream Park:)! He was the cutest in his ice cream hat.
(Sidenote: He asked to go in the shoe store the other day after we were done at Old Navy. I thought that was a great idea. I was thinking I could look at shoes for myself. Well, Jackson had another idea. He wanted me to find him some tennis shoes. As soon as I put them on he wanted to buy them and go to work in them! The Nike's were too cute on him, I couldn't say no. He has asked to wear his tennis shoes everyday since.)
My Aunt Midge and Aaron came along too.
The tour was ok. I don't know what I was expecting to see but I wish I could have seen more of the actually process. I am not sure that is even possible. I do know I don't ever want to work in the Blue Bell Factory. Jackson enjoyed it and loved pretending to make Popsicles with the machine in the last room we stopped in. But, mostly all he cared about was getting ice cream at the end! He asked for the green ice cream.
The good thing about having Brian with us is that Jackson and I got to eat his ice cream. Jackson and I shared Mint Chocolate Chip, Mocha Almond Fudge, and Krazy Kookie Dough. We both liked Krazy Kookie Dough the best! Although after each bite of any flavor Jackson would declare that his "favorite" one!
Garrison just went with classic Vanilla, there #1 selling flavor. Dad went back up and order another scoop of his favorite, Butter Pecan. Blue Bell Ice cream is not sold in WI.
Good thing Jackson takes after me and can enjoy some ice cream every now and then!
After the tour, we were going to eat lunch before heading home. We were trying to find a restaurant that we read about online. We didn't bring the address, the GPS wouldn't find it, we stopped and asked for directions but still were not able to find it. After 30-45 minutes of driving around we ended up driving through McDonald's in order to get home by nap time. I was joking that we would see it on the way home, and sure enough we spotted right off the highway!It was a fun to do something a little different and it is always a successful day when Jackson enjoyed himself!
