A Tourist in East GR

Michael is at the races with Daddy (and uncles and cousins). Abbi, Jessi, Emily and cousin Elizabeth are at a birthday-swim party. So, something fun is in order for Allison, Jenna and cousin Anna, don't you think? How about the zoo? So you mention it...but then realize that you really don't have enough time to get over to the zoo and then back to East GR in time (and you left your Binder Park Zoo membership card at home which gets you in half off and your sister leaves her coupon back at the birthday party house...do you really want to pay $19.00 for about an hour of rushing through the zoo?) How can you top the zoo once you have already mentioned it?

You say..."would you like to go to Gaslight Village to get ice cream and then go to the playground to play?" Not just Gaslight Village....but "Gaslight Village!"(...ya know, really excited voice!) Just so you know, if you offer any type of ice cream they want and then take pictures like you are a tourist...they love it! This is how it ended up...


(so cute skipping!)




Parking . . . free

Ice cream for three . . . $5.65

Spontaneous hug with "thanks for taking me here"... PRICELESS!

(caught on tape! yes, I had her repeat it, 'cause I thought it was so sweet!)
