Weekend away – ice cream cones

We went away to a local island for two nights (Saturday and Sunday), and had a great time!  Sunday, since we couldn’t get to our usual vegan doughnut shop (our oldest is allergic to eggs, hence the need for vegan), I told the kids we could get ice cream after Mass.  Well…the ice cream places nearby were all closed on Sundays.  Perhaps I should have checked this before making rash promises.  So I went to the grocery store and got ingredients for cone sundaes, which ended up going over quite well.  For at least one member, possibly two, it was the first ice cream cone ever. 

Tess requested a spoon and ate most of the ice cream out of the cone first.  Then she asked for help getting the last bits out of the bottom of the cone.  At which point she was surprised to find out that the cone was actually EDIBLE!  Who had come up with THIS awesome thing?

That evening, when Michael made a fire in the fire pit, we also roasted marshmallows, and Hannah and Sim made s’mores with chocolate ice cream instead of chocolate bar.  Voted quite delicious.
