Free Cones

Yesterday afternoon, my daughters came inside from riding their bikes out front. They were each holding a blue sheet of paper. The excitedly showed them to me proudly proclaiming that they got a coupon for a free ice cream cone from Dairy Queen.

At our old house, the girls got several of these coupons from cops that would stop and hand them out to kids they saw wearing their helmets while riding their bikes. (We had a cop that lived behind us and would frequently drive past our house on the way out of the neighborhood).

Since we moved, over a year ago, the girls had not received any of these coupons even though they ALWAYS wear their helmets when they ride their bikes. I figured they must not do that sort of thing where we live now. We were pleasantly surprised when they got them yesterday.

So, last night, we decided to go out and drop some books back off at the library and mail a netflix movie back....and stop at DQ. The girls each enjoyed a free (not-so) small cone and guru and I got blizzards. I decided on the caramel chip cheesequake flavor. I'll tell ya what, I was not impressed. It sounded and looked so good. It was not so much.

It had lots of big flakes of chocolate but very few bites of caramel or cheesecake. It wasn't terrible, however definately not my favorite. I still like the banana cream pie flavor the best. I noticed that they also had yet another new flavor of moolatte. Mint mocha, YUM! I totally should have got that, except it was like 9:30 p.m. so I suppose it is best that I did not. I still haven't tried the hazelnut moolatte.

Ok, now I am craving DQ again, so I better just post this and move on to another subject.
