We had such a fun weekend in Albuquerque that we were all super tired and our drive home seemed to be twice as long.
When things were getting nerve wrecking and the movies in the DVD players were losing their appeal, I remembered some chocolate candy I purchased that morning and passed out the goods.
I made no promises to be the smartest person ever.
But, hey, I know how to make my people happy!
The chocolate helped and we were all happy campers for at least another hour of the drive.
And then we began to hit a wall again. We were just about 45 minutes or so from home, but those were going to be a miserable forty-five minutes!
Just in the nick of time, my husband noticed a local farm and mercantile. He spontaneously pulled in and we all got out to enjoy the farm.
We all enjoyed taking a look at the farm animals.
The ostrich even enjoyed taking a look at us!
And then came the best part of our stop…ICE CREAM! The mercantile sold the best Blue Bell ice cream cones and we surprised the kids with one.
Jenny was covered in dirt, chocolate, and ice cream!
And just to prove to you and I’m REALLY not the smartest mom on the block, I let Will and Jenny finish their cones ride home.
A ride that was much more tolerable thanks to our ice cream break!
