Going on a Date Farm!

The past two weeks we've had Grandma Smith visiting us!

I had a couple business trips to take, so the kids got to be spoiled by Grandma while I was away.

During her visit we took a tour of a local Date farm at Martha's Gardens. We now know more than most of our family and friends all about how Dates are grown, harvested and eaten! 

The highlight of this adventure was the eating of the BEST Date Shakes in TOWN! We all agree- best ever (though none of us have tried anyone else's)! 

If you are lucky enough to come visit us, we will be happy to treat you to a Date Shake!
