Ice cream Social 2012


Despite having to work Saturday, we had a pretty fun weekend with the highlight being Sunday's ice cream social at the fire department in our hometown.  This is something we do every year.  It's near and dear to Mark's heart as be used to volunteer at the event when he was in the high school marching band oh so many years ago.  The band members help serve food, pick up used trays and sell their band calendars at the event which is primarily a fundraiser for the fire department.  The food is usually pretty good although I think someone fell asleep at the grill this year.  Most of my food was burnt, but it's a fundraiser, so what the hell.  I only go for the ice cream anyway which was delicious as always.  The kids have a great time because all the fire trucks are there (I feel bad for anyone who has an emergency on ice cream social day) and they can sit in them and try on the fire gear.  They even have several antique fire trucks that the kids think are pretty neat.  They also have a bounce house and fake house with flames in the window that kids can knock down with a real fire hose.  The kids didn't want any part of either this year.  They had one track minds, ice cream and fire trucks.  Well, two tracks, I guess.  So, that's what we did.

Just one more fire truck...please...!
