The Chicken Car.....

I can still remember the chicken cars driving around town when I was L&G's age. They are owned by a local burger/ice cream joint. The boys and I went for ice cream this afternoon ( I couldn't wait for lemon ice cream any longer---don't knock it until you try it!), and I was thrilled to see the cars in the parking lot. The boys thought they were pretty neat too!
