We have an awesome little root-beer stand/drive-in out by the lake where we live. It’s become one of my favorite summer things to do – to make at least one stop out there during the summer.
The day after the boys’ birthday party was another beautiful day, so after their afternoon naps we headed over to enjoy some yummy, un-healthy treats. This drive-in offers the ability to stay in your car & order or enjoy your food/drinks out on one of their many picnic tables. We opted for the picnic table for our visit that afternoon.
We ordered deep fried cheese curds (yes, this is Wisconsin!) and a root beer float. Wyatt enjoyed the cheese curds with mommy & daddy but Colton wasn’t interested. We let them each have a taste of root beer (they had not had any pop before this point) but neither of them was impressed (which is fine with this mommy). I’m sure it was the carbonation that really threw them for a loop. They both sucked up a mouthful through the straw & then had a weird look on their face and did not ask for any more – Wyatt didn’t even swallow his. We also offered them bites of the ice cream from the root beer float but let me tell you, these kids are just not crazy about sweets – unless it’s a rare occasion that they’re in just the right mood.

After our yummy snacks, we walked across the road from the drive-in to a nice, public beach. The beach was pretty busy that afternoon. We didn’t intend on swimming, but we still took the boys down to the lake to let them splash around a bit & get their toes wet. They really had fun with that!
