Turkey Hill Experience

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Turkey Hill Dairy. All opinions are my own.

We’re big Turkey Hill fans in our house. Tommy drinks about a gallon of tea a day, I love the lemonades, and who doesn’t love some Turkey Hill ice cream?!?

The Turkey Hill Experience opened in 2011. The building that they used was constructed in 1899 and was known as the Ashley & Bailey Silk Mill.  After being empty for more than 25 years, Turkey Hill bought the building in 2009 and began renovations. The Turkey Hill Experience includes 26,000 square feet of family-friendly exhibits and activities.

Our day started out pretty early. Nanny (my mother-in-law) met us at our house about 9am, we then dropped off Owen at Mommom’s (my mom), and headed on our way. The Turkey Hill Experience is about an hour and 15 minutes from where we live in Cecil County, MD.

I knew we had arrived when I saw the water tower on Rt 30 with the Turkey Hill Experience Logo! We got off the highway and made the circle around to a rather sketchy looking old building (remember I said it was from 1899?) with the bright Turkey Hill Experience logo in the front. The giant cow and ice cream container aren’t always there, they travel everywhere!

Thankful for Hard Poop

Charlie just turned 3. We’re having a rough time with potty-training. This mommy is exhausted and frustrated trying to get this boy to wear underwear and use the potty. We just got Charlie new Spiderman underwear in his Easter basket.

He thinks they’re pretty awesome, but what boy wouldn’t? We’ve been stressing that you have to keep your underwear dry and not get Spiderman dirty or wet or we’ll have to take them off.

At naptime today, he went upstairs and was playing (I know… I said nap, right?) for about twenty minutes. He then came to the top of the stairs to call down to me saying, “Mommy…. Mommy… Me need you right now. Please come up here. Poopy all over my clean floor”. I groaned a bit, unlatched Owen from the boob, and dragged myself upstairs to check out the situation.
