Farrell’s

Geez, Monday came so quickly, right?  We had a relaxing weekend and I got a lot accomplished on the Project Life front and I can’t wait to share soon (just need photos).  Since February is right around the corner, I wanted to post these photos before I “forget” them.

So there is this ice cream parlor that used to be around when I was little named Farrell’s.  I had a birthday party there and I loved going after the movies to have ice cream.  They served food too, but it was all about the sundae’s for me.  I am not sure when, but Farrell’s was closed down.  Recently, they have been rebuilding them, and I always wanted to go, but never wanted to take the drive.  Well we lucked out because they built a brand new one in our downtown shopping center. 

I could not wait until it was open, we would drive by and I would tell Alyson my memories of the place.  Soon, she became as excited as I was for it to open.  It finally opened the day after Christmas.  And the lines was crazy long, I heard people waited in line for 3 hours.  Ummmm, no, I am not that nostalgic. ha!

Well on New Year’s Day, Alyson asked her dad to take her.  He agreed and came down.  Well, I tagged along, because he knew how much I wanted to go.  We only waited 30 minutes – score!

Here are some photos that I took.

Here is the ice cream only area.  This line was much shorter, but not as much fun.

 

I love the old time decorations.  Never gets old, I loved it when I was little too!

Now when we got there, Alyson was excited until she realized how loud it is in there.  They go crazy with birthdays and take out the drums and make people do silly things.  She wasn’t prepared for that – but she got over it – heee.

Her food.  Two mini hot dogs.

And my lunch, the “grown up” grilled cheese.  Yummmmoooo!

And although part of going there is the experience, I always look forward to having ice cream.  But guess what?  Alyson didn’t want any.  I know!  Shocker – she always wants ice cream.  Sigh, so we didn’t get any.  I figured that I would take her back and make her have some ice cream another time – heee!

What she was holding out for was candy from the candy shoppe they have. 

They have all the good old time candy!  She had a hard time choosing.

They even had Bacon soda – what??

Look at those giant Gummi Bears!

And these, oversized pops.  Don’t believe me?  Take a look.

So cute!  Alyson wound up with some candy that looked like rocks, and something else, can’t remember, but she ate it all.

It really was the perfect way to start the new year-I can’t wait to take her again!

That’s all I have today!
