Toot toot!

Way back in the 'fall', the school held an auction as a fundraiser. Teachers were asked to offer something to auction off so Emily and I offered an ice cream date at the wonderful local ice cream kaboose, Toots.
 

Finally, the summer season rolled round and we could set a date. Feeling bad that parents had paid good money just for an ice cream date with us, we organised with Martha, the owner, to see how ice cream was made. However, I didn't realise how much fun it would be.

First, the kids got to decide what flavour they wanted to make. Claire went for 'Rainbow Bears' and Camden for 'Candy Store Floor'. Whilst the machine was churning, they got to do some mixing...

Next they added their creations to the ice cream


and best of all, just to make sure they wouldn't be poisoning people, we tried some right there and then. Yummy!


But that wasn't all! After meeting some of the animals (Toots is on a farm), we headed inside the kaboose to make our own ice cream sundaes.

 


So there you have it, another awful American experience!
