Ice cream

Buppa thought it would be fun to take the munchkins out for ice cream the other day, so we bundled them into the car and set off on a little drive in search of an ice cream kiosk near the water. This was a typical picture of our walk... Smudge running on ahead and JJ lagging behind at his own speed. Buppa tried to keep pace with Smudge while I lallygagged behind with JJ. From time to time JJ would ask me if he could run to catch up with the others, so Buppa and Smudge would wait for him...
look at the water together...
then continue on the walk while JJ took his time studying the water from all angles.
We all finally reached the end of the boardwalk, only to discover the ice cream kiosk was closed for the day. Oh well, it was a fun walk along the water...
and we found another ice cream parlor in town. Smudge had chocolate ice cream and didn't get a drop on her princess dress.
JJ had orange sherbert and he managed to escape without needing a change of clothes too. What an amazing feat.
MMMM, Amma enjoyed her ice cream too...
and a snuggle with the munchkins before it was time to head home.
They both wanted to ride this cow standing outside the ice cream parlor, but finally agreed to just pose in front of it for a picture.
