Dinner was comprised mostly of leftovers. It was a good, simple meal that would have gone otherwise unremarked if not for today’s date—which just happens to be National Ice Cream Day. Somehow the kids got wind of the occasion, so we had to do something.

Our morning was filled with typical Sunday activities—church and the farmers’ market. It was already dreadfully hot when we left the market, so we were determined to stick to cool activities in the afternoon.

After briefly flirting with a visit to the Port Discovery Childrens’ Museum, we set off for Grammy’s pool. Lucky we did because, shortly after we started swimming, Uncle Brian arrived for a work-related visit. The kids were only too happy to show off for their uncle.

We had dinner last night at a nice little pizza joint, Seasons Pizza. We re-heat the leftovers tonight, which worked well both because it was good food and since we did not have much time after swimming.

Finally we had ice cream sundaes. During dinner, we realized that we had no fudge for hot fudge sundaes. Our daughter, being a melodramatic seven year old, was bitterly dissappointed. Lucky for her, she has a mom that can whip up hot fudge with pantry items.

And so it came to pass that we had a very merry National Ice Cream Day.
