Blue Bell

Blue Bell ice cream is arguably one of the most delicious brands of ice cream in the history of the world. We heard about their fun tours (and free scoop at the end) and thought, since we were heading to Austin anyway, we might as well take advantage. The tour was fun. Abby and Mac really enjoyed watching the machinery and the ice cream filling the buckets and heading down the line. They had this really cute video about the history of the creamery at the beginning of the tour, and when they asked for volunteers to be the "caboose" of the line, we gladly volunteered...so we got an extra scoop! Bonus!
Here's Mac enjoying his scoop - Summer Berry (soooo good).
Abby was in heaven and couldn't decide what flavor she wanted. She seems to be more of a sherbet kind of girl, so Rainbow sherbet is what she decided on.
Here we all are enjoying our tasty flavors. On that table we've got Rainbow Sherbet (Abby's choice), Summer Berry (Mac's choice), Groom's cake and Banana Pudding (Ben's choices), and Cookie dough and Pecan Pralines (Allison's choices).
Thank you Blue Bell for your delicious ice cream and fun tour. We'll be back again!

MMM!!! We too enjoyed the tour and would go back again. I told Nick that is the new visitor attraction we'll be taking family to from now on.
