It is a now a tradition for us to get ice cream at Toots on the last day they are open each year (as well as on the first day!). So on Sunday, we donned our fleece jackets and headed out for a sweet treat, and said goodbye to our animal friends. This summer, Tess went from happily eating whatever I ordered for her, to always requesting her favorite flavor ("M&M" = chocolate chip) — and from being afraid of the pigs to finding them totally hilarious. She also now insists on visiting the "neigh-neigh." Grace become very adventurous, ordering — by herself — a different flavor each time (but always in a cone, with rainbow sprinkles). I will very much miss the fun we always have together at Toots, and I'll especially miss the late-afternoon distraction. I'll even miss the resulting sugar high, and the song-and-dance routines that invariably accompany it! The good news is, Toots will still be there next year, and you can bet we will be, too!
