Last night after dinner we headed to the local ice cream shop to climb Mt. Everest for the second time (unbeknownst to the kids). We had intended to go last Friday to celebrate the kids' successful homeschool testing, but it just didn't happen until last night.As we drove into the parking lot, the kids began to say, "Maybe we'll get the Mt. Everest again." Then I said, "No, I don't think we can afford that tonight." (The kids didn't realize we had a gift certificate we had received from friends at Christmas. We had been saving it to use on the ice cream monstrosity).
The woman behind the counter said that she'd take our individual orders as soon as we were ready. Matt said, "I think we'll be getting the Mt. Everest tonight." The kids went nuts. Joel started bouncing and he hadn't even eaten any ice cream yet. Daddy started taking requests for ice cream flavors. Chocolate versions were the most popular, but a couple of requests for blue and rainbow (from the littles) were also included. Everyone ate more than their share of ice cream and a good time was had by all.
