Last night we stayed with the Williams family in Gloucester, VA. They have an awesome home beside the North River, and this morning they took us exploring. Mary Alice and Rob, who were leading the tour took us first on a boat ride, and then showed us the farm. The tour was going really well until Mary Alice stepped on a bumble bee with her left foot . . . and then on another with her right foot. Then Tom got stung on his big toe, and I got stung on my left heel. After 4 bee stings, we decided to end the tour and go to the ice cream store - the best way to get your mind off of a bee sting is to fill your mouth with ice cream :)
So with that, we went to the Williams' store, Short Lane Ice Cream Company. We got to set up all of our gear and tell everyone about our ride. They offered homemade blueberry pie for a donation of $10. We also had Peace Frogs come and set up a hippy-van with some really cool T-shirts. The girl manning the hippy-van even gave us each a peace frogs T-shirt.
We were able to raise at least $300.00 and we got to meet some nice folks over ice cream. Make me kinda wish we had some more ice cream fundraisers - we'll have to work on that . . .
