An uprooted tree, both sides:
Afterwards, we went for creemees at the Underhill Center Store - just vanilla on offer on Sunday but that was all we needed. Summer and ice cream are an obvious combination anywhere but it's a particularly big deal in our proud dairy state. My Wife makes her own and is currently teaching Our Girl to do the same. Our Girl had been bugging me for creemees all week but I held off, knowing mom would be disappointed if we went without her. So, we hatched a creemees-everyday-of-the-weekend plan. Our Girl was surprisingly unimpressed when I told her. "That's interesting," was her casual response. Of course, she'd just had Friday's cone at that point. But then, we forgot on Saturday and she was disappointed - figures.
In other news, Our Girl passed Red Cross Level 2 in swim class on Friday! We're doing Level 3 in just a couple of weeks. She's already worried she won't pass. I told her we could practice at the town pond every day if she wanted. Naturally, we're very proud of her.
We won again in kickball last night, a close battle: 1-0. Our Girl came to watch for the first time, more or less out of necessity. My Wife is out of town for a few days. She enjoyed it, I think. She certainly had a fun time running around with the other kids. I got a "Good job!" and a high five after I got a hit in my only at bat.
With our tie, we now have our longest "non-losing" streak in ANY sport EVER!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely telling of a moment in time. I will dig out my ice cream churn and make some vanilla creemee of our own.
