End of Summer

We have had a really fantastic summer. So many adventures and fun memories. To signify the end of our summer we gathered some of our friends at the Rutland Ben & Jerry's for a VERMONTSTER. We picked 20 scoops of our favorite flavors and topped it w/ brownies, choco chip cookies, M&Ms, Reese Pieces, Dino shaped sprinkles, and whipped cream. We had her leave the bananas and walnuts off to the side.

This is what it looked like when we started...7 people, 7 spoons...1 hour later...

This is what it looked like.
There were a few cookie dough bites we scooped out, but it was pretty much soup. So, of course we dared Gordon to chug it!

Tricia and Gordon were our token non-Vermonters so we had to introduce them to one of B&J classics. These are some of the flavors we chose: ChocoChip Cookie Dough, Sweet Cream & Cookie (oreo), Cinnamon Buns, Choco PB swirl, Phish Food, Vanilla Heath Bar, Choco Therapy, & Vanilla. The flavors tasted really good together (my choice of Cinnamon Buns was a little too sweet for people...but YUM). If you come visit we'll gather a group again so you can indulge in this tasty treat. Have a glorious Sunday.

P.S. My dad and Gordon had a great time at the Patriots game last night. No photos of course..."it was raining." The Pats lost....but they had fun none-the-less. They didn't get home until 4 AM this morning....but hey...the prices you pay for sporting events.

P.S.S. We had a nice visit from Memere and Papa this last week. They were up to Royalton for girls camp. They came to my Brass Band concert on Thursday night (despite the tornado warnings) and treated us to ice cream. It's nice to have visitors every once in a while.
