Kimball Farm Wrap-up
There were questioning looks on the faces of the participants when our erstwhile cruise leader past blame to his navigator even before we departed. Mr. Wenzel does not have a stellar record for navigation, having come in dead last at last years Bug Juice Rally. But everyone got behind our lead dog and headed off to Kimball Farms. The ride was scenic and the weather was “top down” perfect. The route was imaginative back roads but it did differ from the instructions. But, in the end we all arrived at the same, rather amazing, location.
Kimball Farms has food, ice cream, shopping, bumper boats, batting cages and lots more. We all had lunch and topped it off with some of the best ice cream we have ever had. And for this group of ice cream lovers that is saying a lot. Some even tackled the Banana Split although not without help. After lunch, rain drops were felt and it sent everyone scrambling back to the Vettes to get the windows and tops up. The few drops then turned into a downpour. We stayed dry and watched brave souls continue to ride the bumper boats in the rain. For some reason, this gave encouragement and bravado to some of our members to man the boats. We took the opportunity to crash into our friends without worry of anything more than a return splash. The storm was gone and we headed home as another event became a memory.
