Spring Break Days 3-5: Disc golf and the zoo



Days 3 and 4 were spent hanging out with Dad which meant at least one round of walking through the woods (disc golf) with him. On day 5 we joined our friends the Napoleons for a trip to the zoo and a chance to be out enjoying the beautiful weather. Maren was so excited to see each of the animals but I think her favorite thing was feeding the goats. Whitney enjoyed being with her friends. After our hike around the zoo we headed to Doumar's Diner for some ice cream. This place has been around since 1904 and the original owner was the inventor of the ice cream cone on Coney Island. We got to watch one of the grandsons make ice cream cones on the original machine while we were there. The sign above the machine reads "This is the WORLD'S FIRST CONE MACHINE still in use today, it was used in 1905 at Coney Island N.Y. by Abe Doumar inventor of the ice cream cone & this machine."
