We heard the tell-tale music coming from a few blocks away. The excitement was almost too much for the boys as they both got the "ok" from mom (the most difficult "ok" to get)  and ran for the door forgetting their money. They quickly ran back, picked it up and shot down the steps. They wanted to run down the street and meet him, but they learned that if you wait at the sidewalk with a goofy grin and an "I need ice cream" look in your eye, he will stop right at your door step. The ice cream man came and Russell and Max were the first in line!
