Maple View Farms
I’m a huge ice cream fan. When we happened to stumble upon Dairy Farm Road and drove up directly onto the front porch of the Maple View Farms ice cream shop… I was in heaven :)
The ice cream is very fresh. So fresh, in fact, that you can see the cows which produced the milk for the perfect java chip ice cream you are eating (for example) right across the street.
Perhaps the cows thought we came bearing treats… because they inched in closer and closer to us at the fence, then began mooing in unison as to say to each other “act cute, we may get something out of it!”
I’m not sure why I didn’t take a picture of our ice cream? The fact that it was so crowded that we had to eat it in the car was a factor…
On the way home, we took the two-lane country roads… here are a few semi-blurry pictures:
And our happy little passenger… notice her window of nose prints:
We ended up at the Q-Shack in Durham for dinner. All roads here lead to good North Carolina BBQ.
After all the excitement, we went home… and Meg heard a fire truck siren. She goes from listening, to seriously listening to howling.
Her instinctive howl pose is SO cute.
Next time… the beach!

I swear I can hear Meg’s sweet howling. And were there any Mooma’s in the cow grouping?
