Summertime Treats

Summer is officially here and we've had our fair share of hot and humid days. The heat of the day is right about when I wake up from nap and mom has been great in treating me to some cool down treats. Today was special though. I woke up just in time to hear the ice cream man coming by. His bell was ringing and we were running in an effort to catch up to him. We had to go all the way to the end of our street. Which is a long way for my little legs to run. Needless to say, mom and I were both ready for the cool treat at the corner.

I got my first bomb pop (though not the traditional red, white, and blue) and still have not mastered the art of eating a popsicle on a stick. Thank heavens mom had my smock on me, she could dump out the melted popsicle from my pockets by the time we were done.







I've gotten better at eating popsicles since these pictures. However, I think I'm cheating a bit, my favorites are icee pops. The treat from mom's younger days that's just frozen juice in a plastic sleeve. The plastic helps keep it all in. I thought choosing those at the grocery store was pretty clever.
