Prigel Family Creamery

We visited a local creamery with our neighbors. There was a short tour of the creamery facility, then the main event: ICE CREAM! I think Josh now understands that the cows don't actually produce ice cream themselves, but the cow's milk is used to make it. :)

The kids and the Jerseys

Josh and Katelyn were asking for ice cream the ENTIRE tour. They were not interested in learning about the process - they only wanted to taste the product! They both chose strawberry ice cream on cones - they are branching out! There were eight piglets at the farm. Unfortunately, their mother died giving birth and they are now bottle feeding these piglets with the help of volunteers. They were super cute and wrestling around like little puppies do. We reminded each other of the huge, smelly hogs we saw at the fairgrounds a few weeks ago - they don't stay cute forever! (Plus, I don't know that the HOA would allow a pen in the back!)

Dinner with the Dunns

Mr. and Mrs. Dunn came over for dinner. Josh enjoyed having his teachers at his house - we'll see how he does when school starts and he has new teachers! Josh played Yahtzee and read a story with Mr. Dunn. He showed Mrs. Dunn his drawings and we all played catch in the basement. Josh was so excited they were here - it was really cute! And Katelyn had a lot to tell Mr. and Mrs. Dunn - they were impressed by her vocabulary. Is anyone surprised? :)

Josh greeted Mr. and Mrs. Dunn with a silly Ireland hat with bells. It was no surprise that Mr. Dunn wore a silly hat too! There were also lots of laughs that Mr. Dunn brought his favorite vegetable for dessert - ICE CREAM! Josh tried to correct him that ice cream is a treat, not a vegetable, but we're not convinced Mr. Dunn understood. Josh said, "Every time he says it's a vegetable and every time we tell him it's a treat!"

Zoo Day

We spent the morning at the zoo today and it turned out to be a great day to be there! Josh and Katelyn enjoyed showing Pop-Pop and Yai-Yai the sites. Josh was very interested in the map this time and was our navigator. He was often referring to the map to make sure we were going in the right direction. It was one of those things where you felt like you were witnessing child development - that he has crossed over into a new stage of processing the world and exploring it. Josh was very cute and serious about his job!

The best photo of the bunch...or should I say pride?
