I Scream , You Scream...

...We all scream for BLUE BELL ice cream!

On Thursday, we joined up with some of Nate's friends and headed to arguably on of the sweetest places on Earth....the Blue Bell Ice Cream factory!  We got a tour of the factory and learned that the blue bell is a flower that grows in Texas, hence the name.  We also learned that it takes around 60,000 cows to produce one day's worth of this deliciousness!

The Blue Bell motto is "We eat what we can and sell the rest".  At the end of the tour (no pics allowed on the tour) we tested this in their old fashioned ice cream parlor. It was a hard decision to make....

The other Mom's and I decided we definitely gained cool points that day, allowing our kids to eat ice cream at 9:30 in the morning.  We are trying to figure out how we can remind them of this when they are teenagers and remind us how "uncool" we are!

It was a sweet day, with sweet friends! If it is even possible, I may just love Blue Bell even more than I already did!

YUMMY in my tummy!
