Ben and Jerry's Factory, Waterbury, VT

The second factory on our tour of Vermont was to Ben and Jerry's. Ice cream sample, funny video, beautiful weather... nothing more to say about that.
What? We're at an ice cream factory?!
I forgot to include campbell's questions on the tours. At the end of each tour she always had a few questions ready for the guide. Here she asked why they flip the ice cream tubs upside down after filling them (good question) and also where she could pick up her ice cream sample (OK question) and also why they had a fake jug of fake milk that looks like it's spilling onto the floor (he ignored this one and didn't take any more questions).

emery lost her tooth right as we crossed from NH to VT- literally as I took the picture of the state welcome sign. She's so cute with her missing teeth!
We opted for the mini-Vermonster. Big daddy Vermonster was 30 dollars worth of ice cream... yeah.
So, with the mini, you get this nice pail with a handle, 4 flavors of ice cream, fudge, caramel, chocolate chip cookies, brownies, whipped cream, 4 kinds of sprinkles, and all the free spoons you want.

griffin and I were the only ones to tough it out until the end.

How's my diet going you ask? Oh... it's going!


There's a playground around the back of the factory. Nice.


quinn is such a little climber. She never wants to be at the bottom of anything-stairs, couch, my feet, the playset outside...
Visiting the flavor graveyard of discontinued flavors.

Do NOT put me back in that car guys!
