Tasty Treats and New Streets

Missy and her gang joined us for pizza tonight and we decided to go for ice cream afterwards . Buttonwoods was PACKED, so we headed over to The Brown Cow Cafe (part of Ekonk Hill Turkey Farm- click the title above for the link to the farm). This was our first time...not many people as it was close to closing. It is the cutest place- they have animals for the kids to check out, home made goodies, local products (chips, soda, jams, etc). We all had home made ice cream, while Todd added an "apple cider slushie". We took home a turkey pie (frozen and like a pot pie) for dinner Saturday night (**it was all gravy and turkey and was it YUMMY!).

With Jake always wanting to take a new road any time he is in the car, I had Todd go down Stone Hill Rd. from Rt. 49 (star on the right side of the picture) on the way home from ice cream. The road goes through Pachaug forest and brings you to Rt. 201. After about 15 minutes and deep into the forest (yeah, it was dark and I told Todd to take the wrong trail...yadda yadda yadda), Jakob was not liking the new road (all dirt and very bumpy!) and was scarred. It was a tad bit spooky, but I wasn't going to let on that I thought so! We were supposed to be on the outskirts of the forest, but I had directed Todd to take a left instead of a right which brought us through the middle of the forest. We had a bat fly right near our car!! Todd not knowing where he was (I have made it through twice, taking different ways on my own) didn't help make Jake feel better. He kept saying things like "I hope the gates aren't locked!". Anyway...we finally made it out (of the main entrance..star on left of picture)..and Jakob says "NO MORE NEW ROADS FOR ME!".
