Ben & Jerry's Factory Tour

After a wonderful morning at Joseph Smith's birthplace, we headed a little out of our way to the factory tour at Ben & Jerry's. A friend had mentioned it to me and we thought...sounds like fun!

The place was packed and we had an hour wait before our tour began. We decided to get some ice cream and let Annie get a quick nap.

I ordered my all time favorite, Cookies and Cream...YUMMY!

Chad and Emily opted for the exclusive flavors found only at Ben & Jerry's factories. Emily choice: Chocowlate (or something like that), vanilla ice cream with large chocolate cows. Chad's choice: Triple Chocolate Fudge...

After our delicious ice cream, Chad and Emily left to explore the large children's playground and other attractions on the factory grounds while I stayed with Annie, who was sleeping.

Grandpa Jensen these pictures are for you!

Time for our tour. Annie woke up minutes before this picture was taken. You're a good sport Annie!

You can't take pictures during the tour. It was interesting to learn about how the ice cream is made, packaged and shipped. But our favorite part of the tour was the tasting room. They hand out free samples of the ice cream being packaged on that day. For us...Chocolate Chip Mint. Yum!

We took a few pictures on our way out. The girls were a little tired and not really into taking pictures by then. Still, we had a fun day and lots of great ice cream!
