Ice Cream Social and Cakewalk

Despite the Ice Cream Social being on a Friday night, we were all excited to join the fun with all of the other families from RFES.  We joined up with Mary Elizabeth and we walked over together.   The first thing that we ran into was the ice cream.  Ice cream before dinner is not our usual routine but it was all good.

Connor ate almost his entire ice cream before it melted.  And, Jackson actually did eat some of the ice cream, which is usually not his thing.  It lasted as long for both boys until they spotted all of their friends and they started having fun on the playground.

A little later, Michael arrived and made our way to the line to enter the cakewalk and found Ms. Thomas collecting tickets. Jackson was super excited to see his teacher and Connor was searching for Ms. Scotto.

The process was to walk in and find a spot to start at, you walk around during the music and stop when the music ends.  Someone pulls a number and if you are on that number, you win.  Jackson has the best of luck and he was on the right number.  Connor was one away (so close).  

He was super proud of himself (as he should be since his circle was full of people) and selected the following cake.  We tried to sway him towards the brownies or something else but he was certain that this was the one. 

After we finished our pizza and snacks, the boys joined up for some more fun on the playground with their friends.  We stayed until the sun went down. It was a lot of fun.
