I miss summer!

Today as a random hail/snow storm hit, I got to thinking about how much I'm looking forward Spring and Summer.  Warm weather, vitamin D straight from the source, kids playing outside, trips to the beach and, of course, the neighborhood ice cream truck!  Although there is a store right down the street and we usually have ice cream of some sort in our fridge, I just can't help letting the kids get ice cream from the truck.  I think it is just a nostalgic thing...something I only occasionally experienced because we lived down a dirt road in a small waterfront community.  The ice cream never came down our way but I was always so jealous of my friends that heard that tell-tell music coming down their street often in the summer months.  I found a couple of shots of my kids from early fall when the ice cream "dealer" was on one of her last trips through before retiring for the winter.  Only a few short months until we hear the familiar tune again...yay!
