As many of you know, Ken has been spending a lot of time over the past couple of months restoring a 1950's Worksman ice cream tricycle that he found on craigslist. Well, it's finally ready. The last touch was having the freezer box custom painted with a funky design and lettering. Ken picked it up Saturday morning from his friend Brian's garage where he had been working on it. I hadn't seen the bike since he first got it. Although I have tried to be supportive of Ken's enthusiasm for this project, I have to admit I've been a little skeptical of the idea and wasn't exactly loving all the late nights he was spending over at Brian's working on it. But, wow! It really turned out great. I would post some pictures but unfortunately we have no camera right now (The trusty Canon we've had since Owen was born has been acting up more often than not for several months. I finally replaced it with a camera I bought from Woot.com a couple of months ago and that camera also stopped working after about 1 month so we only get pictures on the rare occasion that the Canon decides to work). But Red Tricycle Ice Cream Company debuted at not one but two events yesterday. First Ken rode it over to pass out ice cream sandwiches at our neighbor Kieran's 5th birthday party and then later yesterday afternoon he took it to a wedding in Allen Centennial Garden's to pass out fruit juice bars to the guests after the ceremony. Both our neighbor's and the photographer at the wedding took lots of pictures so hopefully we will have some pictures soon. In the meantime, you can check out some pictures of the bike when Ken got it and some pictures taken during the restoration on Facebook (search for Red Tricycle Ice Cream Company) and on the very-under-construction website (www.redtricycleicecream.com).
