The ice cream truck

Do you all remember the day when you were playing outside and to your great delight the ICE CREAM TRUCK would round the corner? Do you remember the best day of your life when mom said you could actually GET ice cream? Can you still remember which delicious ice cream bar you chose for your treat?

Part of our yearly summer tradition is traveling to Aunt Emme's house and getting ice cream from the ice cream truck. We picked a day and waited outside. We waited and waited and waited. And then it rained. And then we waited and waited and waited. And it never came. What hearbreak.

The next day we heard the truck and frantically ran outside to flag it down. After much debate all 5 kids had picked their treat for the summer and Mommy paid $8.75. Remember when it used to be $.25? We thanked the ice cream lady but not before Rhia politely asked her where she had been the day before! We need to continue to work on our tact. :-)
3 swirly pops, 1 sponge bob, 1 massive snow cone, and 5 Happy kids.

Blessed to have memories of the ice cream truck and to give my kids the same,
KT
