We had a great time at Dow Park last night. In total we had 10 people, about 3 gallons of ice cream, around 50 cones and bars of ice cream and a case of bottled water that we gave out. However, the best thing last night and the main reason we went out to the park was to simply offer gifts to anyone that would like one. I personally met several individuals including two sets of grandparents with grandkids, three very nice young families with kids and over 15 pre-teens / teenagers. I even had the opportunity to talk a little shop with one of the guys that is currently enrolled in college. The highlight of the evening for me was watching David on the skateboard. He did make it off the shorter ramps (one time with a little help from one of the kids-he was pushed) and the other time was truly solo. However, Dave was not comfortable sailing off the large ramp into the land of pain. So we had to be happy with watching the kids fly around on their skateboards and bikes. Overall it was a very good evening and we were able to accomplish our goal of just getting out into the city and doing some good work. We are looking forward to our next event at Dow Park on August 22nd at 7:00 PM.
Also, I was asked to post the receipt for the ice cream that we had so here it is:
