Today is one of our favorite "holidays" to celebrate: Free Cone Day! Each year Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shops give away free cones all day long. And each year a local organization partners with them to help scoop and raise money through donations for the work that that particular organization does (this year the donations went to A Place to Turn). We arrived a little before Noon (ah, the joys of this lifestyle that we live! ). There was a wee bit of a line but it was only a few minutes before we were inside enjoying some ice cream! Emma chose Cherry Garcia, Grace chose Phish Food and I went with Cookies and Milk. All deliciously yummy and the perfect before lunch snack! As the girls were eating and I was taking pictures of this fabulous holiday Emma said to Grace: "Wanna try some of mine and I can try some of yours?" Without any hesitation Grace said "yes!" and this beautiful moment was captured! And on that note we wish you all a very Happy Free Cone Day! Leave no hand unconed! xo
{This Moment} - A Soule Mama Friday ritual. A single photo- no words- capturing a moment from the
week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor
and remember. If you are inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment'
in the comments section for all to find and see. We wish you a marvelous weekend!
After we dropped Emma off at Crickets today Grace asked if we could get some ice cream. Ice cream sounded like a fabulous idea to me so I began to contemplate where we should go. After a little thought I settled on Ben & Jerrys. As I drove to B&J's I thought about what kind of ice cream I would get (Jimmy Fallon's Late Night Snack? Cherry Garcia? Phish Food?) and how we'd probably have the place to ourselves since it was the middle of the day on a Tuesday. As soon as we arrived we noticed that there were an awful lot of people standing outside of Ben & Jerry's. If it had been a gorgeous 80 degree day like we had a couple of weeks ago this would not have been shocking, but seeing how it was in the 60s and breezy this seemed a little strange to me. It could only mean one thing: It must be free cone day! What a perfect day to get ice cream! Grace chose Phish Food and I had Mint Chocolate Chunk. Sadly Jimmy Fallon's Late Night Snack was not an option. As we headed out of Ben & Jerry's and back to our car Grace loudly proclaimed: "I love free cone day!" And I couldn't agree more!
