June 6

We often celebrate the end of the school year (and academic successes) with a trip to Coldstone. And after some prompting from Abby, that's what we did this evening after dinner.

We all enjoyed our picks --from mango with chocolate chips for Isaac to a birthday cake concoction for Abby to mint with gummy bears for Brady-- in the lovely late-evening air.

And then we parted ways, with Abby and I opting to walk the mile back home while the boys returned the way we went -- via car.

It's always sweet to celebrate our kiddos' accomplishments. (And in a way, tonight was also a nod to Isaac's big news of the day: he was hired to work at the Dairy downtown, where he'll be serving up Pleasanton's favorite ice cream in the months to come. Yay Isaac!)
