All Is Tip Top.

The atmosphere around school is fizzing with excitement; school reports have been handed out, new classes have been assigned, secret santas are around and gifts are being exchanged...two days are all that stand between school and the long summer break. 

Our bigs received excellent reports and are pleased with their new classes. They visited their new classes and met their new teachers this morning. 

It was in the spirit of summer adventure that we signed them out school this morning after their class visits. They had no clue where we were going and were surprised to be picked up after morning tea. The littlies were waiting in the car and excitedly told them that we were going to visit an ice cream factory!

Indeed we were. The Tip Top ice cream factory. 

We'd booked months earlier, as soon as factory tours resumed after covid disruptions. 

We got to see how ice cream is made and packed. We learned a bit more about the history of the company. The best part, unequivocally, was getting to pick an ice cream from the freezers after the tour. That's one way to guarantee a carful of happy children all right!
