Day 3 started with a trip up to the Ben & Jerry’s factory in Waterbury. We were there a few years ago on our way to Quebec, but we weren’t able to take a tour then. We caught a tour this time and got to eat cookie dough bites and cups of Americone Dream.
By the time we got back and had lunch it was raining so the planned field day activities were postponed. To try and make something happen other than sitting around with everyone looking at their phones I cajoled a group of kids into a game of Camel Up.
The older boys did the treasure hunt with some help from Michael. Megan & Chad ran another music bingo for the kids. And people otherwise hung around waiting for weather to clear.
Then the weather did clear and we hopped outside for some field day activities including sack races, balloon tosses, 3-legged races, and something called horses and riders (which is vaguely similar to musical chairs).
That evening Megan and Chad ran “The Price is Right.” I won a prize basket of snacks and treats. But I lost to Mike in the Showcase Showdown.
