The Cheap Jeep

The first time we experienced the ice cream truck was when Ema was just two years old and we lived in the San Miguel Street house. It was such a joy to allow our daughter to have the experience of going up to some strangers truck and giving him money for a ice cold treat!



When we moved to our new home, we weren't sure we would see the ice cream truck again. Well we were wrong. The first summer we lived here (2002), there were two different ice cream trucks that frequented our neighborhood. Much to our surprise though, ice cream was no long $1.00 to $3.00. It was now $2.50 to $5.00.

This week were so excited because we found the "Cheap Jeep." It is an old mail truck converted into an ice cream truck with the words "Cheap Jeep" painted on it. Much to our delight there is no treat above $2.00. The kids were overjoyed that Dad & Mom finally said "yes, you can have a treat from the ice cream truck today!"






Our neighbor, Logan, joined in the fun, too. This was his first ever experience with getting a treat from the ice cream truck!



What fun to be a kid!
