A perfect summer night at the drive-in root beer stand

This past Saturday we had planned a big night out at a local truck show event. We had heard rave reviews about years past – semi-trucks (& the ability to see/sit inside), construction equipment, local law & fire services and a Lightning/Mater appearance. We were pumped up but ended up some-what disappointed as most of the “fun” things we thought the boys would enjoy did not participate this year. It was a show of mostly semi-trucks (none that we were able to even see inside), a few old fire trucks and trucking vendors galore. The boys thought seeing the semis up-close were pretty cool but there was only so many to look at.

We called it quits early at the truck show, just before dinner time and decided to enjoy the beautiful weather we had that day & eat outside at a local root beer stand. The boys & I had grabbed ice cream cones at this drive-in earlier in the summer but we hadn’t made a trip out as a family yet this year.

Beautiful summer evening weather made for a fun dinner outside!

Mommy & my boys!

Swinging with Daddy.

Yummy food!

Unfortunately, Wyatt hadn’t been feeling the best all week & kind of went downhill as we were having our dinner…getting a little warm, losing his appetite and becoming quite tired.

We finished out our meal with ice cream cones (yes, he definitely felt better with the slight mention of ice cream cones) & were headed home for the night.

Ice cream smiles!
