Enjoying the Simple Things

 A recent trip out of town landed us at the local King Kone. Boy were we in for a surprise. The cones were double fisters piled high with vanilla ice cream.
It's interesting to me that this has always been the one stop my husband wants to make whenever we visit this town. From what we remember it had been years and are kids had no memory of stopping here to enjoy a King Kone. A simple stop, very cheap ice cream cones, and it's all the kids and my husband talked about for the rest of our trip.
It has taught me one thing, we should spend more time enjoying the simple things around us, the wonder and awe of a massive too big to eat ice cream cone, or the simple beauty of a garden or local farmers market.
With money tight for most American families, making a day trip to a local town and visiting their park, their farmers market, or their little ice cream stand can make just as many wonderful memories for your children as a trip to Disneyland.
