The ice cream truck made a visit to our neighborhood this afternoon. My kids have never gotten ice cream from an ice cream truck before. On a whim I decided that my kids needed this childhood experience. I grabbed my wallet and we went out to wait for him to come make his way around the cul de sac and come back by our house.

Bleezer's Ice Cream by Jack Prelutsky
I was surprised at how reasonable the prices were. Not cheap, but reasonable. Maybe the supply is outweighing the demand at this point in the season. It is just the beginning of April after all.
Tank chose an ice cream sandwich, Monkey had a snow cone and Specs was happy with a plain old fudgesicle. Makeema, the maintenance man is apparently a regular of the ice cream truck and has a fondness for ice cream sandwiches too. He is this giant of a man and such a cool guy. It cracked me up when he told me he was there to "embrace his inner child".
Ice cream trucks are a little bit magical, don't you think?"Money can't buy happiness but it can buy ice cream and that's kind of the same thing." -Unknown

Ebenezer needs to add some bacon ice cream to his list. :) Except I would actually eat that - it's tasty! In my past life I worked in 4 ice cream shops - ice cream = happy me!
Mmmmm. Bacon. :)
