During the hotter months we would get ice cream but that's besides the point.  Once everyone got their slushies we would bike down to the community dock and we would hang out there for a while, maybe go to the beach later. I don't think we ever went swimming at the beach because it gets kind of cold at night and the water would be freezing.  After finishing our drinks(unless you're
