Summertime Treats

Both Elijah and I had our first ice cream cone from the ice cream truck last night!

We've been hearing the music from his truck nearly every evening the past couple weeks. And last night when we heard it Geoff looked at me and said "do you want to grab some change and..." I don't think i heard the rest of his sentence! I was already raiding Elijah's money jar for coins and hollering for Elijah to put his shoes on! =)

By the time we walked down to the street there were already eight other kiddos hanging around waiting for the van. I didn't know there were that many kids around, i've never seen them before. And there Geoff and I thinking he wouldn't make much money!

I love the look on Elijah's face in this next photo.
I'm not sure who was more excited out of the two of us!

Ethan says "hey mom, where's mine?"



Did you get treats from the ice cream truck when you were growing up?

Those look like way yummier treats than the ice cream trucks here! My mom used to let me run and get ice cream from the truck when I was little. I would always choose the ones with bubble gum in the middle so the treat would last longer! Looks like you all had fun!

So cute Melissa! I would have been running to get the change too! LOL That looks like WAY better ice cream than our ice cream truck here....as a child I would get ice cream, but now the people driving the trucks are kinda scary, not sure I would do it now!! eek!

When I was a kid, we lived so close to a Dairy Queen that my sister and I, as teens, walked down there everyday one summer for a treat. Around our house now we used to have an ice cream truck come around, but he stopped coming since the gas prices went up.
