Trip to Chocolate Moose

So pretty normal day around here.  Took Elan into treatment at 8:45 so Erik dropped Elan and I off and he then took Finn to camp then back to us to pick up.  Elan does great and no complications so far - he isn't very tired either which isn;t how he is supposed to be doing :).

So we tried to do naps but didn't work so we picked Finn up from camp and then took a bike ride along the "b line" trail.  IT is a bike path made from an old train line.  We rode to the Chocolate Moose - now this is apparently a super famous place made famous by the also famous music video "Jack and Dianne" by John Mellencamp.  Thats right folks, I am now in John Mellencamp territory!  Of course you need to see this for yourself the link - for those who prefer not to relish in their 80's glory can click to 50 seconds to see the VERY place we were at for ice cream:)  The BEST part is they serve Vegan ice cream... yep we are in a college town.

JM is apparently dating Meg Ryan so we have been told and she drives a red convertible.... be on the lookout for sightings :).

WE then rode our bikes home, had dinner of salmon and left overs and then headed to the local congergation to enjoy the meeting. It was so encouraging for sure!  They had a local needs part regarding not being discouraged during trials from health - how appropriate!  The friends there were so kind and several of the parents want to have us over.  THere was 2 couples within a few blocks of our house who gave us their numbers in case of anything which was very sweet.  We met a 15 year old and she offered to baby sit too.  THings are working out!
