We all SCREAM for Ice Cream!

Friday, February 18, 2011

Julie and I promised the kids that we'd get ice cream after the zoo....but since they all fell asleep...we extended "after the zoo" to after dinner tonight.  Daddy Steve and Namaw met us at the yogurt shop.  It's a fun place to get ice cream (I mean yogurt).  The yogurt is self serve and there are lots of different kinds to choose from.  Then you add the toppings that you want and pay by the weight.  You really have to help the kids so that they don't get 5 pounds of gummy worms on top of their frozen yogurt!



 
(I didn't get a good picture of Malachi.  Oops!)
After we finished eating, we loaded up the kids in the Durango and then I shut all the doors and told Daddy Steve, Namaw, and Julie, "Shhh!  Hear that?  It's really quiet out here!"  Namaw responded by giving us their keys, taking our keys, and telling us that they'd drive the kids to our house and we could ride home in a quiet car!  What a gift!  It was so quiet driving their car home (did I mention that all the surfaces in the yogurt shop are hard and the sound echos off the walls?!  It's loud in there...especially when a kid hits her head on the bench and cries!)  After we got all the kids in bed, we spent some time relaxing in the living room until 9:45...then we headed to bed too.  Is that a sign of getting old?  Friends are in town visiting (who we typically only see once a year) and we can't keep our eyes open past 10:00 pm!!!
