9.15.15 - mini FroYo date night & Jack's Joy Inventory

The weather finally cooled down! We went from days pushing or surpassing 100 degrees just last week to a high of only 75 today. It was glorious!

As a kind of celebration, Jack and I decided to have a family outing and go for a walk in the evening. He looked up the nearest frozen yogurt place to his campus, and we dropped by there for a treat.

Left: fruity yogurt with lots of fruit and nuts on top.

Right: chocolatey yogurt with lots of choclate candies and cherries on top.

Guess whose is whose?

We took the yogurt and walked Miss Clara (in her stroller) up to Jack's campus and all around. It's a pretty campus with lots of huge trees. It reminds me of a mixture of the junior college and university I attended for my undergrad. It was kind of nostalgic that way. Jack showed me where each of his classes is this semester and we just chit chatted. At one point we walked past some big leafy trees as the wind was blowing and several golden leafs blew past us and it just made me so happy--finally it seems like summer is over!

After awhile we got to talking about the movie Inside Out again, and discussing which character, overall, we were most like. Jack claimed he was Joy and I was Disgust. I countered that I'm the one with a Joy Inventory, maybe I'm Joy. I pointed out I have 100s of entries in my Joy Inventory, and challenged him to come up with 10 things that give him joy. As he thought of them I started entering them in my phone so we wouldn't forget. The whole walk back to the car (at the frozen yogurt shop) he thought of what would be in his joy inventory, and he ended up with 50 different entries! Here they are:
