I was hanging out at my house on Saturday, when my neighbor gave me a call to tell me that she was eating the most delicious shaved ice and was sending the truck on down to my house. Luckily we were just finishing up dinner, so the kids and I headed out front to wait. Before we saw the truck turn the corner, we could hear it playing some Hawaiian tunes, nice and loud. As it made its way to our house, it was of course mobbed, so we waited a little longer, but it was fun to watch and listen…it was like a party going on in our neighborhood!
