Ice Cream!!

The weather has suddenly decided that it really is getting closer to the beginning of Fall-type temperatures! But unfortunately cooler weather also brings out the cold/flu/virus season and we have already starting monitoring the latest virus to hit the area.  Extra hand sanitizer and masks are the order of the day now when Bella goes out. She is very understanding when it comes to wearing her masks.  She will tell you that "germs are yucky and not good"!  We all are very diligent about this.  Our goal is to keep her healthy.

Bella and I are slowly starting to put up Fall decorations. She is having fun! I think she and I will do some serious decorating on Saturday!

Today we ventured to the Blue Bell Ice Cream Plant Tour...It was great! We started the tour being served ice cream! Bella picked "green". She loves Mink Chocolate Chip (Just like her Daddy!) It's not a very long tour  but it's very informative.  Bella thought is was great because the one machine had a lid/cup malfunction and it stopped putting lids on the cups! When that happens the system dumps the ice cream into a hopper for recycling..but in the meantime the conveyor system keeps churning out stuff...needless to say it was quite messy and she thought it was GREAT! It took just a couple minutes to correct and clean up but it was fun watching the process!  Bella waved through the glass at all the workers and they waved back..which she also thought was pretty cool!  She gave them all a "thumbs up" and they all returned one to her. When the tour was done we headed back into the Country Store where Bella was offered another serving of ice cream. (She turned them down..she said she didn't need anymore!)

They don't allow pictures of the production area otherwise I would have snapped a couple.
I highly recommend going. Just call ahead and reserve a slot!!

Being goofy!
