Daniel's first ice-creamery

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

Before we headed to Hervey Bay James and I decided that we'd take Daniel out one day for an adventure to the icecreamery. James and I often like to sneak out to this place as it has so many options and is just so yummy! Daniel has had ice cream with mum and dad before but it was just vanilla. I wanted us to be the ones to take him to

Choose any ice cream for the first time. 

One afternoon after rest time we asked Julie if she could look after Eliza. James, Daniel, Alexander and I hopped into the car and headed to the esplanade. On the way we told Daniel that we were going to get an icecream and he was so very excited! He clapped his hands and had a massive grin on his face and said 'yay I like icecream'. 

When we arrived we told him that he could choose any flavour that he wanted (although James didn't want him to get bubble gum). Daniel was so excited to look at all the different colours (and flavours). He saw a 'brown bumpy one' and said he wanted that. James then took him to look at the other options but it kept coming back to the 'brown bumpy one'. Daniel had chosen chocolate mousse. 

He kept saying 'chocolate mousse for greedy goose' like the title of one of his books. I think that gave him more incentive to have that flavour. We ordered a kids cone of chocolate mousse and then James and I ordered some icecream for us and then we walked over to the park. We were going to sit on the beach to eat it but it was a very windy day so we stayed in the park. 

Daniel loved his icecream. He started with licking the drips that kept falling down and then he enjoyed crunching through the coke and eating all of it. 

 

The result - chocolate everywhere and a very happy boy. 

It was lots of fun sneaking off for icecream with him. Looking forward to doing it again in future trips.
