ice cream trip

We had been promising Makenna that we would go get ice cream the next day that daddy was off.  In downtown LaGrange they have a mom and pop ice cream shop that screams character especially since it is nestled next to the train tracks.  Makenna has been in love with trains since she was a baby.  I know, strange for a little girl but nonetheless she loves it. 
So Monday daddy took off work and off we went to get ice cream.  Oops! We forgot they were closed for the season and not yet open for spring.  Makenna was heart broken.  We had to come up with a plan B and fast.  Daddy said, "Mommy don't you have a coupon for Graters?"  I did.  I bought an Entertainment book this year for the Flash photo coupons and it has some really great coupons for resturants and stuff.
So off we went to Graters.  All the way to Louisville.  A 3 minute drive turned into 40 minute reound trip to get ice cream.  We decided to eat it there and enjoy the ambience. 

Maddax even got his very own scoop of strawberry.   This was the second time in his entire life to have ice cream.  Everytime we thought he was done and got up to throw the rest away he would wig out at Chris.

Makenna enjoyed Chocolate by her choice and then a little of mommy's and daddy's.

Chris got himself a DOUBLE SCOOP of Blackraspberry  Chip.  This was not on his P90X regimen.  Though both of us have kinda fallen off the P90X wagon.  We must regroup and get back on the wagon.  He looks like he got caught red handed with his hand in the cookie jar.  BUSTED!!!!

The best part of the trip was having us all together.  It is rare that we get to spend alot of time together since Chris works so frequently.  I can tell a difference in Makenna when she speds quality time with the both of us at the same time.  I love our little family.
