Ice Cream and Miniature Horses

Today we toured the Blue Bell Creamery in Brenham. The 45 minute tour included a film on the creamery history, looking down into two large rooms where ice cream was being made and packaged, and getting a free scoop of ice cream. Ken got Moolenium Crunch and Lee got chocolate with almonds. Lee tasted Ken's and decided she had a new favorite ice cream flavor. At the Blue Bell gift shop, we bought a Zeroll ice cream scoop, a bit of a splurge, but the best scoop we've ever had.

Then we visited the Monastery of St. Clare Miniature Horse Farm. Franciscan Poor Clare nuns raise miniature horses and sell ceramics to support themselves. We saw a foal that had just been born the day before.

The horses vary in size and color, but full grown are the size of large dogs. We also visited the chapel.
