The Ice Cream Truck Chase Down

With summer just around the corner and all the local tasty freezes opening up, it reminded me of a Bend story. One hot, sunny summer day, my grandpa and I were out enjoying a boat ride. As we went up and down the river in the "big motor boat" we could see the whole Bend enjoying the day. On our fourth run up the river, my grandpa and I were looking out over the Bend when we both saw the ice cream truck enter the Bend. It was a hot one out in the river, so ice cream sounded like it would hit the spot. We raced back to the dock, tied up the boat, and ran up to the end of the driveway. My grandpa and I have never moved so fast in our life, but we made it in just the nick of time as we heard the musical truck pull up. We each decided to get a delicious ice cream sandwich. It definitely hit the spot! This is one of my favorite Bend memories for sure!
