A short trip to Gettysburg where Kimberly had arranged to meet a photographer who
would take pictures of her family. Definitely good and fun choice. Gettysburg in autumn is beautiful.
It was very cold and June had the right idea. Cuddle up in a soft blanket.
Kilwins ice cream shop
I had never heard of
Kilwins but it is apparently because I do not live in eastern U.S. If you
click here you can learn more about this business that started in 1947.
Lily and Gigi. Some time best friends but always sisters.
The trees are decorated with ice cream cones.
All of the girls were excited to stop at the ice cream shop and get some Superman
ice cream. If you look closely at the container you will see a lot of blue with some bright colors mixed in.

Superman ice cream is a Michigan thing involving three flavors (in shades of blue, red, and yellow—your standard Superman colors) working together, sort of like Neapolitan. So is it just vanilla ice cream with buckets of food coloring? Apparently no, at least not in the case of the blue flavor. Blue Moon, another Michigan (or maybe more Midwestern in general) thing—and not beer in this context— is a super sweet Smurf-colored flavor that apparently "just tastes like blue." Some guesstimate that the yellow is vanilla (others have said banana, but they have little support) and that red is cherry, raspberry, strawberry, or another generic sweet-ish red fruit.
