Pretty much the ultimate afternoon

For a treat, we walked to Anija's Fresh Fruit Ice Cream next to Sokol's fruit stand on Swanson Road.  Being on foot, we could have the fun of short cutting through the train station.

At the ice cream stand, you choose what fruit you want:  strawberry, blueberry, mango, passionfruit, or mixed.  Then, one of the members of Anija's lovely family grabs a square of vanilla ice cream and a frozen serving of fruit out of the freezer with tongs and drops them into the funnel-shaped apparatus.  A noisy moment later, your soft-serve cone is ready.

We spotted a park next door.  The boys, of course, have a personal life goal of visiting every playground in the city, so we made our way over.  They proved that they have become true ice-cream-eating professionals; their acrobatics didn't slow them down.

I would have to agree that this is an awesome way to spend an afternoon: what better than enjoying a custom-made ice cream cone in the park!

I think it is a very worthy goal to visit every playground - not only in the city - but everywhere they go!
