“Let kids order their own ice cream.” – Rick Steves
It feels like summer!
Swimming
Golfing and ice cream. They ran for the ice cream truck and this time they caught it!
Cooper is upset about England being out of the World Cup.
Biking riding and bike punning…

What a lovely collection of summer moments! ☀️ There’s something so nostalgic about chasing the ice cream truck—it instantly brought back childhood memories. I also love the quote at the beginning. Letting kids order their own ice cream is such a simple way to help them build confidence. Wishing Cooper’s team better luck next time, and I hope the rest of your summer is filled with more sunshine, bike rides, and sweet treats! 🍦🚴♀️😊

Well spotted, Deb. And it’s always so busy on Lake Union. Although we’re right next to where you can boat (or paddleboard) up to Ivars so I suppose that’s one reason.

Funny you say that. She reasoned that it was the biggest thing she could get for the same amount of money. 🙂 You’re right, Dana – good to be home!

My condolences to Cooper for England getting knocked out of the World Cup. I was rooting for them as well. Somehow, some ice cream found its way into our grocery cart this morning for the first time this summer. I am still investigating how that could have happened, Wynne. 😁

Lovely photos and funny sign. A dad joke I can share, thank you. The ice cream truck screams summer and enjoying a swim to beat the heat is always fun. Enjoy another weekend of summer.
