Today was so hot, it seemed like a great day to make some ice cream. We started with 3 bags, some heavy whipping cream, pure cane sugar, and vanilla. We added Oreo bits and extra vanilla to turn one into cookies and cream. We added Reese's chocolate, peanut butter, chocolate syrup and Reese's baking chips to another for some pure deliciousness. The third one we made into rocky road. We added marshmallows, chocolate syrup, almonds and a ribbon of fudge. We added plenty of ice cream salt and ice. We sat down in a circle and took turns shaking until we had ice cream. I have never done this before and I was really happy with the results. The ice cream was seriously great, seriously the best I've ever had, I'm seriously considering never buying store bought ice cream again and just making my own from now on. I'm completely serious. The kids all liked it too. My Alex liked the cookies and cream the best. Joshie liked the Reese's the very best. Alex P. liked the cookies and cream. Bella (who is visiting today) liked "all of ice cream" My fav was the rocky road. I LOVE ICE CREAM!
We went to the park again today. Again? I know. We go everyday it seems like. But hey, they're all happy to go and it keeps my kitchen clean since we're eating there. I love anything that means I have less dishes and sweeping to do. Today we played Red Rover with some other kids we met. Tyler didn't get what he was supposed to be doing so he just mostly followed Alex P. around. Other than that they seemed like they had fun. Of course Bella and Joshie were holding hands the whole time. Cute! We also ran up and down the hill at the park. The kiddos rolled down it. Looked really fun! I wish I could have joined but SOMEONE has to play in the grass with Ava and tickle her little toes.
