Today instead of swimming (which would have been the healthy choice lol), while Sam was at Prek-K, Abigail and I pottered around Baseline and Broadmoor.
Firstly we went to the scrapbook store where I treated myself to a few more Glimmer mists and the cutest bee stamp that matches the butterfly stamp I have!!
After that we headed to the thrift store where I found a really sweet old Avon pot with an Easter bunny on it - I thought it was the cutest thing and the green around the rim of the egg basket matches my kitchen so NEXT year it will look lovely in my kitchen somewhere :) This year I am NOT decorating as we are in such a mess with the renovations everywhere. NEXT year will be different!
I also found a cute jug to display and a couple of books.
After there we ran to Save-On for some elastic bands for a guitar Abigail s making....as well as a some more hot cross buns for the work men as well as us for tomorrow...some eggs for the kids to decorate tomorrow....and cream for the butter chicken tonight!
After that we still had time left and what was looking at us from across the parking lot?????? Only the Marble Slab Creamery!!! I had never been before so off we went! Abigail chose white chocolate ice cream in a white chocolate covered cone with mix-ins of nerds, bubble gum balls and sprinkles!!!!! OMG!!!!!
I chose a child sized cup of maple flavoured ice cream with skor mix ins!!!! We sat outside to enjoy the gorgeous +14c temperatures (yes notice NO SNOW is left in sight woohoo)!!!!
The ice cream was nice enough I guess - I was quite sad that they have pistachio listed on the wall but didn't actually have any but then again there has been a recall in the US so maybe thats why???? They did have a good choice though and I didn't think the prices were too extreme. I really just wanted a cup of coffee while Abby had her ice cream and was shocked that they didn't do coffee!!!! Wah!!! So I had to have ice cream :( they do cans of pop but I'm not really a pop drinker.....I wanted coffee!
Abigail loved it though and I will dfeinitely go back in the Summer with the rest of the kids - but I think I MUCH prefer our usual ice cream place at the train!!!! It's more fun - more relaxing and more of an 'experience' and 'day out'!!!! Plus they have more choice if you don't want 'ice cream'!!! :)
I guess now that Laura Secord has gone though, this is one of the only places to go for ice cream apart from the burger/ fast food places like DQ and McD's.....
