Ice Cream Social

Thought I would just share something light after last weeks, week-long rant. On Sunday we went to the Ice Cream Social at the McConnell Mansion in Moscow, Idaho. This was a free event and the weather was beautiful.
Xavier had a lot of fun looking over the hunting and trapping display outside under the trees. He was able to name most of the furs they had on the table. He later told me he thought it was mean to have all those furs. He's such a softie sometimes.

We stopped for a moment to see the raptor's. Xavier loves the birds but it seems that the more we see them the fewer birds they have to show off and the more competition to get up to see the birds. Last year we took a tour of the raptor facility and I think we'll save up our interest for the next tour.

We took a tour of the house, which Xavier found moderately interesting. This bed here is missing it's mattress so Xavier thought that was cool. He, also, wanted his picture taken in the bathtub but we didn't think the museum staff would like that.


We then got some ice cream and sat and listened to the music.

We finished up our time with a hay ride. Xavier loves hay rides and horses so we had a lot of fun.
