I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream

That all time summer favorite.... for 100's of years, it has been enjoyed by millions worldwide. We all remember the excitement of being told, "We are going to go get ice cream." The imaginations soar with ideas of whether you are going to have a ice cream cone or sundae. What creation of ice cream you where going to make ~ from ice cream flavors and toppings?

While the children were out in the yard the other evening, they started shouting for Ken and I, "Mom and Dad the ice cream man is coming!" They had their friends staying over night, so I had four children rallying for a special treat. I could hear the music, but in the back of my mind I was also wondering, why in the world would the ice cream man be coming around at such an hour? So we walked out to the front of the house and looked down the street - NO ICE CREAM MAN. But I could hear the music, so I told the children he must be down on the other side street. So we waited another 10 minutes and still NO ice cream man.

I told the kids I am not sure what is wrong, maybe he forgot to stop on our street. So walking back to the back yard, we could still hear the music. I look over and I stopped to listen and from the neighbors porch was the music we were hearing. Our neighbors had their baby out in her walker / saucer and the music was playing away. We all got a laugh out of that, and DQ saved the day with ice cream sandwhiches.
