Just regular old ice cream.

Cups, cones and shakes.

No store bought

confections here.

I usually just get the bars,

I'm not really an

ice cream person.

lucky day then isn't it?

Time to try something new.

- Can I take a look?

- Sure.

Come on up.

- Rum raisin's my favorite.

- It's probably more of

an old fashioned flavor.

But then again I am

an old fashioned guy.

- Oh what's this one?

- That's rainbow sherbet.

- Yum.

- There are a lot of choices.

- Oh this one looks good.

much of a rush.

Crazy resides everywhere.

to set everything up for the

kids before they got here but.

my mind in there.
