This summer is turning out to be a good one. Being that we just recovered from a hellacious heat wave, were still going strong. I had company for a week and I enjoyed it very much. Though I can be some what of an organizational freak, it went well. The kids had plenty to do, and if they didn't the XBOX found plenty for them. One of my favorite memories so far this summer was our group trip to the fair. Ah the country side, the smell of the great out doors, long country roads, blue skies white fluffy clouds and ice cream. We all had a blast! We were 10 deep {meaning there was 10 of us in our crew} We all decided to take part in the Watermelon Eating Contest, of which Kim won 1st place. OMG it was hilarious. She just opened her mouth and swallowed. <--Ma'am!
The boys really didn't want any parts of it, but being the loving mothers we are, we made them. Of course their hearts weren't into it so they lost, TO A GIRL! Lol I don't think Emmanuel will be craving watermelon for a while. At the fair we got to see all the prized animals, pies and crafts. Being a small community fair there wasn't too much to see, but just enough to keep us occupied.
After the fair we all made our way to my new FAVORITE Ice Cream place Moo Thru! OMG the Ice Cream here is AMAZING! I think God himself blesses it before it enters your mouth. It's so creamy and yummy! They are totally natural and the cream comes from their pasture located right behind the store. The plus is they are Gluten Free! The down side they are allllllll the way out in Faquire County! Moo Thru is a hidden gem in the country side. I kinda like it this way. If they became a chain the taste would change, and so would my love for them.
The first time we went, I just got a single scoop with fudge. I was trying to be a good girl. The 2nd time we went I was prepaired. Gluten Free Oreo cookies and all. Yes I brought my own cookies to the Ice Cream Stand, ain't no shame in my game. Those cookies and my double scoop of Butter Pecan with hot Fudge drizzled on top was pure sugar/Ice Cream SIN! Good sin not bad sin if there is such a thing, the kind of sin that God would approve of, only if confession was done in the form of sit ups the next day. Trust me how ever many calories that over powered my ice cream was worth it. Down to the very last drop!
Now I have a new summer treat spot, and new memories with the best kid, and friends a girl could want.
