Spotted at Civic Park in Walnut Creek. When I hear the Mister Softee jingle screeching from the ice cream truck while watching my kids play at the park I have fond memories of chasing after that truck on hot summer days with the neighborhood kids while growing up on the east coast. My kids don’t have that same Pavlovian response that I had which I suppose is a good thing, although I kind of feel they’re missing out on something. Come to think of it, I don’t notice kids playing outdoors on their own these days where I live anyway. Must be due to all those organized sports etc. Too bad.
