Young's

I could count on one hand--probably on two or three fingers, at most--the number of times that I've made a trip back to Ohio and not gone to Young's Jersey Dairy. I even remember going at Christmas once (when they had some cinnamon ice cream that Doug thought was very cool). The day that we picked for this excursion, by mischance, happened to be the day of the Yellow Springs street fair, and the place was packed. There was a line going out the door. Fortunately we didn't have to wait too long, as someone came back and told us that we could order ice cream at the food counter, which we did.



We went outside to eat. Kate and I shared some strawberry and French vanilla. Yum!



Elizabeth enjoyed feeding herself some ice cream...



... with golf ball on the side.



Hazel got to try a little. Too cold!



After the ice cream, we went into the barn to see the animals.





This must be why they tell you to wash your hands after visiting the barn.



Feeding the goats outside.



Kirsten was having a good time too!




They had this little ride--a train of oil-drum cars pulled by a tractor. Kate and Elizabeth both got to go on it.





They went out into the field, and even went through a big pipe-tunnel twice. When they got back, Peter said, "Wow, that ride was four-and-a-half minutes long. That's like The Beast!"



Barb watches.



Doug!



Me and Andy (on grandma's camera).



We had some fun with these cutouts.





Karen, Elizabeth, and Peter.



Playing with Daddy's hat.



Ice cream, animals, and fun! A good time was had by all.

Thanks for posting all these great photos! There were a lot of moments I didn't capture because you were there with your camera doing a much better job of it. :)

Random, side note... I love your camera strap.

The picture of Elizabeth looking up at Kate in the barn is precious, and I love the caption. Mmmm, farm fingers.
