31 Flavors and Stuart Update



Today the boys got their first taste of Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors.  It clearly does not live up to Clumpies standard which sets the bar so high, I am not sure how to begin to reach it except to start my own ice cream shop...hmmm... a thought...but not today. 

So here in Walla Walla, we have more limited choices.  And I am still working on discovering them.  Tonight we visited an old standby from my college days.  Baskin Robbins: home of the 31 flavors (48 really).  Of course because it was ice cream, the boys loved it.  And for me it was not bad. 

BUT:  Have you ever noticed that in some ice cream shops, when there is a flavor that does not get eaten very often, it sits around in the freezer catching little bits of the flavors of all the other (48) flavors in the freezer with it?  Well that was the main reason for my less than yummy experience.  Once I got in to the real scoop, the ice cream was okay.  Not a bad flavor and pretty good texture. 


Here are some funny pictures of us at the ice cream shop.








 And just in case you are wondering if Stuart is liking his job...see below.  This is just another day in the outdoor program office.  Two students on the left, Stuart in the green, and Lish, his partner in the "Stuart and Lish show."  This is a trial run of the new goggles used for learning to kayak roll in the pool.  Oh happy days!
