ice cream outing with the nephews and niece- You pile into the car, calling a friend or two as you do to see if they want to meet up.
- On the way to ice cream stand you discuss what you will get this time - a very important decision.
- While in line you study the menu options and continue to discuss what kind you are going to get (unless you are one of those people who always gets the same thing), and perhaps ask the people in line around you if they have tried such and such a flavor.
- With ice cream in hand you settle down to enjoy the buzz of activity around you and some good conversation - sometimes you can even snag a table to sit at.
- You make sure to sample the ice cream of those around you - using extra care when trading licks with the toddler sitting next to you!
- You load back into the car happy (and sometimes a little sticky) and usually spend the ride home discussing the good & bad of the ice cream you chose and what you will try the next time.
This was just a little advert to entice people to come to Syracuse - !! - we would love a visit any time and I promise a visit to the ice cream stand as long as you arrive in the summer.

yes, vanilla every time and I can't wait for Syracuse and the ice cream stand.
As if I needed convincing: we're coming! we're coming! Let's eat ice cream together while we're there. :)
mom - true, it is always vanilla for you, but I know you have an adventurous side...and you do take advantage of the 'taste the ice cream of those around you' part!
daniele - I hear that for the first 7 years of your life you thought you were getting ice cream when only getting the cone! you have some serious ice cream eating to make up for - we are definitely eating ice cream together while you are here!
as if your guys arent enticement enough!
that does sound fun.
