Me and my little sister was eating some ice cream. I had chocolate, and my little sister had vanilla. My baby brother Patrick has cherry blossom ice cream. And we were so happy together! I was six years old, my brother was 4 years old and my sister wasn't even 1 years old yet! We ate our ice cream while sitting by the stream. It was a beautiful sunny day and we had a lot of good talks.

On another day we went to the park to play. It was another sun shiny, hot day. Then the ice cream man came by and asked if we wanted ice cream! This time I had vanilla, and my little brother had strawberry, and my little sister had chocolate chip! We were so super-upper-duper happy to have ice cream two days in a row!
Then the next day my friend @qiqi-power wanted to have some ice cream with us too! She went to the ice cream the vendor and paid for our ice cream. She paid with $10. She gave the ice cream vendor girl a wink because she had just enough money to buy our ice cream!

Then we all found a table in the park where we could eat our ice cream and our sandwiches for lunch. I had a sunflower butter sandwich, my brother had a sunflower butter sandwich too! My little sister had an ice cream sandwich! She really likes ice cream. After we ate our lunch and ice cream we played at the park!
Thank you for reading about the ice cream and happy park time!
