LIFE IS SHORT…eat the ice cream 🍨

We had a sweet afternoon filled with scoops, sprinkles, whipped cream and toppings.

There were smiles, laughter and absolutely NO judgement about going back for seconds!

Nothing beats a little ice cream, along with a lot of great company!

HAPPY NATIONAL SKYSCRAPER DAY! 🏙️💜
Who needs a city skyline when we have Solo cups and some very ambitious builders?!
Our residents put their creativity, teamwork and a little friendly competition to the test as they built their very own skyscrapers.
Some came down faster than expected, but the smiles and laughter were definitely SKY HIGH!
