Ice Cream on a warm afternoon...

Is there anything better on a warm afternoon than a little ice cream??  Maybe surprising the kids by taking them to ice cream on a warm afternoon??!!  It is so fun to give the kids unexpected treats that you know they are going to love!  Today, since it was warm out and they have been behaving quite well lately, I surprised the kids by taking them to get some ice cream at Tutti Frutti!  We were on our way back home from Kindermusik, and when I bypassed our house, they were really worried that I had somehow missed the house!  But when I mentioned the idea of ice cream, they shouted with glee!  It was too cute!

One of the reasons the kids especially love Tutti Frutti is that it is one of those frozen yogurt places where you serve yourself.  They love picking their flavor and then two toppings (I have to create a limit!!) and helping me with both those things!  What fun for a kid.  And while they enjoyed their ice cream, I enjoyed the smiles on their faces and the simple things that bring them such excitement!  Today I am thankful for the fun, surprising things we can do with our fun kids!

This was the sunset the other night that I captured from our driveway with my phone!  It was just gorgeous!!!
