I took a few days during spring break to spend with the kids. We made our first trip to the Blue Bell Factory in Brenham one day. I feel bad, but we decided not to take Gage because he would have been stuck in a stroller for most of the time at Blue Bell. Plus we wanted to spend some time with Keaton and Cort getting both mommy and daddy's attention.
We had promised Keaton a trip to Blue Bell when we found out he had outgrown his milk allergy. Yum!! Ice Cream!!

| Ready for our tour. During spring break they have tours leaving every 5 minutes. We only had to wait about 20 minutes after our arrival for our tour. |

 |
| They don't allow pictures to be taken during the tour for privacy of the factory workers. But this is us at the end enjoying our ice cream. Keaton and Mark had Dutch Chocolate, Cort chose Mint Chocolate Chip and I tried Mountain Rocky Road (Rocky road with more nuts!). |
 |
| The kids finished their first cup and we treated them to another. Eat all you can is the motto, right? Next flavors--Bubble Gum and Rainbow Sherbert. |
 |
| It was interesting reading about the history of Blue Bell and the family that runs it. |

Since Gage didn't go with us to Blue Bell we spent the next morning at the park. The kids chose the 'duck park'.

| Gage is too little to actually work the digger, but Keaton helped |

We dropped Gage off for nap time then Keaton, Cort and I headed to It'z for lunch and play time.
