Ice cream flavors

Today, I really felt like eating ice cream, but there wasn’t any ice cream in the refrigerator. Therefore, Dad went to our favorite ice cream shop, BB’s Ice Cream. We like this shop because all the ice cream sold there is freshly made.

I always order chocolate and vanilla flavor. My sister, Abby, always laughs at me because I never change flavors or try something new. But, these two flavors are so delicious to me!

Abby usually likes to eat strawberry ice cream, but she decided to get caramel flavor today. I think she has tried every flavor at the ice cream shop, except almond. That’s one flavor she doesn’t want to try. She prefers fruity flavors like raspberry to other flavors like mint.
