We'd heard about the ice cream social week from our local Christian radio station,
WGTS. Their Friday social was at the
Laurel Boys and Girls Center. J was in chess camp, so L and N came with me for a free treat.

WGTS Ice Cream Social, Laurel |
We went to the main booth and got the main attraction--an ice cream sandwich!

A line for ice cream! |

But that wasn't the end of the giveaways! We spun a wheel to get a random prize. Well, the wheel was actually on an iPad, but that didn't bother us. L spun the wheel and won a book.

The book is one by Billy Graham, which isn't much of a treat for a six-year old. The guy quickly said L could pick from any of the other prizes on the table. She chose bubble mix.

My turn to spin the wheel was next. I'd like to say I spun "bubble mix," but I really spun "candy." That meant I received a box of
Cracker Jacks. L didn't know what they were, so I had the joy of introducing her. The most fascinating part was the toy surprise inside. L was very curious to see what was hidden in the box. We found a baseball sticker, which was a bit of a let down. The caramel-coated popcorn was a big hit, though.

A jump rope challenge was also offered but L was not interested.

We went back to the house and L used her bubble mix right away. At first, N was scared of the bubbles. Soon enough he tried to touch them and was smiling as they popped.

We had a grand time and wished J could have joined us. He wouldn't have liked the ice cream but I'm sure he'd have loved the Cracker Jacks.
