These are some of our photographs from a recent trip we took to Coney Island. We had a great time!! This was not our first trip to this family style amusement park and it will not be our last! It is fun, affordable and family friendly. This place has a lot of things to do! Consider making it a two day event. Get a sunlite pool pass for one day and a classic ride pass for the second day. This way you can take your time. Be careful of the sun. This place can be exhausting!

Art Keepers

Are these not the cutest? I was so impressed with how this worked out I had to share it with you! For those of you that do not know I am a full time student, even in the summer! This is finals week. My last class is tomorrow for summer term. I needed something to occupy the kids. I got to looking around the house for something for them to do and found a stack of large envelopes. Ivy and I were just discussing the other day that we needed something to store her artwork in. I thought well these would be good for that and if they decorate them it would be even better! I gave them stickers, crayons and additional art supplies for Ivy. The only thing I asked was that they put their names on them. I wrote Bella's on the front of hers and Ivy wrote hers on the back of hers. Then I left them to it. They made these beauties! Not only do I now have something cute to keep their art in, It also kept them busy for about an hour and a half!! I got some homework finished and they had some sisterly bonding time. It was a beautiful thing all around!

The Borderline Creamy Whip on Hwy 50 Greendale, IN

On Highway 50, in Indiana just barely, sits the Borderline Creamy Whip. It's almost on the border of Indiana and Ohio. It's a small ice cream shop. It is kind-of like a ice cream truck without the truck. It's a trailer with a walk-up window. They are a great family stop in summer! Their prices are very reasonable! They have picnic tables set up in the shade for you to sit and enjoy your frozen treat. The girls who work here are a joy.
We had a child's size cone (In the photo) which was huge! My oldest tried a sundae. She said it was very good. They just do the basics but they do them well! They are near many other family fun places! They have a good sized gravel lot that you can easily turn around in. This is nice because they are off of such a busy road. There is a small gift shop next door to them if you are interested. We all got ice cream and it cost me less then $5! By now I'm sure you all know I love a well priced outing and this one takes the cake...cake-cone that is!
