I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! We went up to the Aggie Creamery to learn about how they make the famous Aggie Ice Cream. Did you know it takes 4 days to make a batch of ice cream? That's one of the reasons homemade isn't as creamy. The time and the cold.

Just so everyone can hear, they meet in a classroom first and talk about making ice cream and then show a video about it. Aggie ice cream uses milk they get from local dairy farms, generally those also associated with the school.

| Are we ready yet? |
Sammi did not like going into the sub-zero freezer where the ice cream is stored. Negative temps were just a little too much for her to handle. She wanted back out before everyone came in. Ellie wanted to see how long she could stay in there. Luckily she has daddy for that.
At the end of the tour, you can either pick a small cup serving of ice cream or a single scoop cone. Ice cream is ice cream to Sammi so she just wanted one without the wait. She had cookies and cream. I had cookie dough (super solid as they had to grab it from the sub zero freezer). Jake had True Aggie Night, which is my new favorite flavor (raspberries and cream ice cream with dark chocolate covered raspberries mixed in). Ellie had orange sherbet.

| So good, it surprised Ellie. |

| Cheese, I mean ice cream face. |
After we drove up the canyon a bit (since we figured no one was super hungry for dinner yet). There is a fun little hike around second dam, I think that's where we stopped. There were people fishing and swimming. We just walked around the pond.
Such a fun day. We live in a great place.
