After a sweltering day at home, capped off with some heavy rain and thunder, we headed for the Cape. We went down late figuring that the kids (well, at least Andrew) would fall asleep on the ride. He did fall asleep and I figured that we could chance it and stop at Somerset Creamery for an ice cream. He has a problem with milk, it upsets his tummy and he gets Eczema. We are very careful to make sure that he does not have milk. We are also aware that it sucks to be the only kid not having ice cream so we make sure that we have an alternative for him to enjoy. There are good Coconut Milk based ice creams that he can have and enjoy. However, they don’t have that option at most ice cream shops.
We took Eva and Andrew for a playdate with friends over to a playground that I recall from my childhood. It has been cleaned up and has a great jungle gym for the kids including a zipline. Eva even went and played on that a few times. I lifted her to the handle and she held on for the whole ride. I am so impressed at how well she maneuvers the playground now. She climbs so well and enjoys playing on a lot of the high stuff. I still get a bit nervous watching her as she plays and I do make sure that I am pretty close to her.
We played for a while at the playground and the kids had a wonderful time then we went to Bliss Bros. Dairy to get some ice cream. I had a Chocolate Frappe and it was incredible. I haven’t had an actual ice cream based frappe/shake in forever. All the kids had chocolate, too. And for three kids under 6 chocolate is a funny thing to manage. They were a complete mess.
