Gallery Hop & Ice Cream Shop

The girls' school took a field trip today to Old Salem and to the Salem Fine Arts Center to view their Art Show in the gallery.

Our first stop was Winkler's Bakery where we watched bread bake.

Here is the group in an open field by the bakery getting some energy out. The girls and some friends watching a Brother weigh bread dough.

Joiner running in the field with her friends. It is a beautiful day and they loved running through the grasses.

Enjoying the shade

Listening to Mrs. Othella talk about the trees

At 10:30, the snack was an ice cream cone from the Mayberry's above Winkler's. They each had to order and pay for their own. Here is Joiner placing her order for a strawberry cone.

Check out that scoop of strawberry (and the face)!

Joiner was the first in line so she was eating while the rest of her class watched her!

Carly paying for her ice cream

Carly getting her chocolate cone from Mrs. Chela. She was the only kid to pick chocolate! Just like Mama. However, one smart kid thought to ask for Mint chip and that is what I would have chosen if I was getting any!!

The girls kept saying that they had never had ice cream before lunch before! I thought the same thing!

The crew with their treats

After each child ate their cone (and they all did) we headed over to the Fine Arts Center to see the Art. It has wonderful windows and the art was really showcased. Here is Joiner with her Paper Person and portrait. Joiner picks out her clothes now so don't judge me on the leggings choice.

Carly with her Paper Person and art. Carly picks out her clothes too, but she has to discuss if it is matching as well.
