A Cup and Cone adventure

Today was a very important day for the Grilz family. It was our first visit to the Cup and Cone in 2007. Mary Kate enjoyed her first baby ice cream cone. Here she is in line with Daddy.

This was also Ethan's first trip to the C&C as a cash-carrying customer. He has a significant ice cream money fund built up from over the long winter, thanks to lots of grandparents who see fit to send ice cream money with most holiday cards. Here's E keeping a close eye on his currency (safely tucked into a very stylish green coin holder that he got in his goody bag at his friend Millie's birthday party).


Finally, it was our turn. Ethan ordered his cone by saying "a kid size chocolate cone in a cup with sprinkles, please," paid for it, and said "thank you" when given his change. A very proud moment in his life, indeed!

Placing his order...


A kid size cone will set you back a buck these days...


Anxiously awaiting arrival of the cone...

And worth every penny...



Mary Kate loved her cone...after she got used to the cold.

The first chilly taste..

Followed by a huge bite!

Oh yeah...this is definitely good stuff...


And to conclude...Ethan and Mary Kate share a laugh together...
