Why, Yes we would like free samples!





4.26.11



Last Friday I went on a little road trip to Grand Rapids Michigan to pick up our younger cousins Stephen and Allissa from Calvin College. Stephen and Allissa are Bruce's younger cousins but they happen to be the age of our kids. I went to pick them up so we could spend Easter weekend with them. Friday night our kids hung out with them at grandma and grandp's house. They went to Rulli's resturant for dinner and hung out and talked. Saturday the kids and mom Dyksen met me at Cassie's soccer game and then we went to mom D's house for lunch. After lunch Cassie and I took Stephen and Allissa to the Cheese Factory in Middlebury to kind of show them around a little bit and of coarse try free samples of cheese. They had never tried amish peanut butter but I think they both love it now!



















After the the Cheese Factory we stopped by the Rise N Roll Bakery. I had never been there before but heard lots of people rave about it. I now know why!!! YUM-O! We of coarse tried all the free samples! My favorite was the chocolate crinkle cookies! Stephen probably had more than one sample of the monster cookies but he just wanted to make sure they were good with every bite. The kids also tried apple butter for the first time. It was a hit as well! After we finally left the Rise N Roll we had to make a quick stop at Forks County Line Store for extra milk. Stephen said he didn't like that store as much due to the lack of free samples! lol After snacking our way around Middlebury we headed home. The kids played soccer, roof ball, hit golf balls and messed around until dinner time. The kids ended up staying the night and going to church with us. We love spending time with Stephen and Allissa! They are such great young people! I miss them already!
