Texas Heat Requires Sno-Cones!

Another hot day today! After summer camp, Nicholas wanted to go get ice cream again. I suggested that we go home instead and make our own sno-cones. He loved that idea.

I showed him how the ice crusher works and he was fascinated with it. We scooped out our ice into cups and poured Cherry sno-cone syrup on top. Nicholas got a little carried away with squirting his syrup and ended up with a cup of syrup with a little ice in it. So he added more ice to it and problem solved! Yum!





This was the first time I had used this ice crusher and I wasn't really that impressed with it. Even on the "fine" setting, the ice chunks were still too big for sno-cones. I ended up dumping my sno-cone in a blender and making slushies. Nicholas liked that idea too. Next time, we'll skip the ice crusher and go straight for slushies!

Nicholas also asked me to get a picture of the Macaw mask that he made at summer camp today. He is very proud of it!
