This summer we took our kids to a dairy farm in Idaho called Reed's Dairy. It really is a farm.. tons of cows, pigs, sheep, goats, kittens running around.. And right in the middle of all that is a little shop with some of the creamiest ice cream I've ever had, and the best chocolate milk in all the land. It's a weird experience- going to a place that smells like cows and ordering up a triple scoop, but you kind of get used to the smell...
Ice cream is a big deal in our family. We eat it as much as possible and then some. The kids usually order cotton candy or bubblegum, and I can usually be found with about 5 scoops of rocky road, but my husband always gets butter pecan. Always.
This one's for him.
