Welcome to Day 8 of 31 Days of Slow Cooking!
Today we decided to make it a family day. Unfortunately the Wee One refused to wake up so he stayed home with grandma instead of having fun with us.
We did half of the Donut Trail in a county to the south of us. While we were on the Donut Trail, we did some other things.
Today I’m going to share some of the photographs that I took while we on the donut trail.
We went to see Stan the Donut Man. Hubby gave me this expression when his photo was taken.
Yummy donuts at Jupiter’s Donuts – The lady working was so nice.
The Imaginative One posing with the sign in Jupiter’s Donuts – I don’t know what he decided to make that face.

We then went to Jungle Jim’s because we couldn’t travel that far without a Jungle Jim‘s run.
The next photos are from Jungle Jim’s.
Tomorrow I’ll share a few more photos from the Donut Trail.
