We caught him!

Today was a good day for our family: we finally caught up with the ice cream man.  All summer long he has been just out of reach. 

His siren song would be audible from our deck, but he'd never drive by our house...

I cannot count the times he's driven off when we have been 25 feet away and headed in his direction... 

Once I located him after driving around the neighborhood like a stalker (or a desperate mom at the end of a long day) only to have him pull away just as we were parking our car... 

Andrew has taken it like a champ and it's become something of a joke in our household. But it made today's victory especially sweet.
