The Last Day of School and Ice Cream

My sister reminded me this week of a tradition we used to have that I’d forgotten about. When I was a kid, I used to ride the bus to school. On the last day of school, the bus would stop at the local Tastee Freeze for ice cream. It was always a big deal and we really looked forward to it.

So the other day, my sister told me that she was picking up my great niece and nephew and taking them to Dairy Queen for their last day of school. I told her that was a tradition I needed to start back up with my kids. Well, Xavier is already in college so that doesn’t work out so well with him, but Sarah, now that’s a different story.

So Friday, I got off of work early and picked her up after school. We came home, got on the motorcycle, and went to Dairy Queen. We had lunch and then Blizzards. It was a lot of fun. Sarah even said it was a tradition we should’ve started a long time ago.
