Ice Cream Truck

The ice cream truck is one of those childhood "feel good" memories. I can't honestly say I remember it a bunch, but I do know that music and remmber a few times. The ice cream truck has come through our neighborhood since we have lived here, but today was a first, Avery got ice cream!

She promoptly sat down in the front driveway (how summer-esque is that?) and chose which ice cream delight to embark upon!

I think her choice of digging into the ice cream sandwich was a good one - she loved and and still ate her dinner. Our neighbor warned us that now she would always associate that music with ice cream, I do think that is the point, and can't wait for more sunshine indulgences!

Easter Weekend

What a fun Easter weekend we had! Family, friends and fun! Let us remember why we celebrate this important of all holidays.

We had a lovely time on Saturday at the Rainier Club Easter festivities, complete with indoor pony rides! Avery was timid at first, but after a few minutes took the opportunity to ride all THREE ponies because there were no other kids in line!

Sunday morning we headed off to early church service, which was great. There were several baptisms and despite that being the portion of service that Avery got scared about, she did really well and enjoyed the music best. That afternoon, the Ballard clan came over for a lovely Easter dinner. Auntie Amy had the great idea of hiding eggs out back and the kids had so much fun hunting for eggs - showing off their impromptu baskets and collectibles here!
