Putting in My Two Scoops

I guess since I've been there from the beginning, I should be one of the first to add to this family blog. First, thank you Katie for thinking of this. It will be a fun place to keep up with everyone as the family grows. I will have to dig through boxes to find Ice Cream Day pictures from the early years, however, I'm afraid that we didn't document for the first ten years. The picture above was the only year I was "bagged". Greg and I had our cones in the parking lot of a McDonald's on I75. We were on our way home from picking Amy up from the airport in 2009.

My favorite Ice Cream day was July 6, 1985. That was Greg's first official cone on "the couch". He had been attending as a photo taker and ice cream "guest" since around 1977. I am so blessed to have this family heritage and to pass down this tradition to my children. We all enjoy the ice cream, but the kids have grown up understanding that the real significance of "Family Ice Cream Day" is to take the time to enjoy each other and share stories about our family and the love we all have for one another.

Thanks Mom and Dad! Susan
