Ice Cream Galore

You might have noticed that we have a thing for ice cream, which makes us big fans of the Penn State creamery. In honor of my birthday (today), we went to the creamery yesterday to enjoy some chilly treats. While making our mouths happy, we also managed to solve two age-old questions. Do you get more ice cream in a cup or a cone? and Do you get more ice cream if you are cute?

Hayden selected a cone this time around and being in the birthday spirit, we indulged her. (In the past, she's only gotten to share with us.) She picked Peachy Paterno (after first saying strawberry, and then "green") and she got the biggest cone I have EVER seen at the Creamery. It was HUGE. My cone of cookies-n-cream was not quite as big and Jason's cup of Just Fudge wasn't even close. When we took off half of Hayden's to put it in a cup, it was just about as much as Jason had in his cup. Lucky for Jason, Hayden was willing to share! Thus we discovered that the cone is the way to go, especially near closing time, and if you are super cute, you get more!



Also, as you are looking at these pictures feel free to imagine the scene. We have ordered our flavors - Hayden is handed a GIGANTIC cone - while Jason is holding her. We also are then handed an almost gigantic cone for me, and Jason's cup. Jason is holding Hayden and ice cream. I have a stroller, eliza on my front, and we are needing to find a place to sit even though the creamery is packed. (who knew 5:15 pm on a Sunday was so busy for the creamery - all non-students since it's spring break?!!) It was a bit of ice cream chaos. We did manage to keep all cones upright, and find a table and then sit down to enjoy our treats. Yum!

And after we were done, Hayden enjoyed the multi-generational tradition of walking on the wall on campus. (I used to do that all the time at UNC with my dad!)
