you scream, i scream, we all scream for ice cream

It's report card time so off to Goody's we went on Sunday. In Boise when you get a good report card you head straight to Goody's to celebrate. Goody's is an old fashioned ice cream and soda shop in the Hyde Park district, a two block section of the north end neighborhood with restaurants, a coffee shop and some shops. They offer a free ice cream sundae or banana split to any child who presents his or her good report card.
Claire proudly presented her excellent marks and ordered a triple scoop banana split with whipped cream, nuts and a cherry on top. Addison had an orange soda float with Oreo cookie ice cream?!? Didn't look that good to me but he seemed to enjoy it. I'm very proud of both my children and how hard they work in school. It's wonderful that Goody's recognizes their achievements too, it epitomizes the small city charm of Boise.

Doing well may be its own reward, but ice cream and the ritual around it sounds pretty rewarding, too.
