Ice cream man!!!

On Saturday I went up to John and Jill's to hang out with the kiddos and see their new place. The house is lovely, and they fit right in since the neighborhood seems to be full of kids. We sat out on the front porch while Nathaniel and Sebastian rode bikes up and down the street with a few other kids and Jill chatted with another mom about 2nd grade classroom assignments for the coming year. Then... The ice cream man cometh! The kids heard the music before anyone and instantly bikes were thrown down and they were on the curb waving their arms while Jill ran into the house to get her wallet. I grabbed mine, too and was SO happy to get a soft-serve ice cream cone with rainbow sprinkles - one of my favorite summertime treats. Here are Nathaniel, me and Sebastian enjoying our ice cream with one of the neighborhood kids (on the left):

I have such happy memories of the ice cream man growing up. It was always a surprise, he never came on the same day or at the same time, but as soon as you heard that music, nothing else was important and you instantly craved ice cream. That's kind of how I felt on Saturday. It hit the spot.
