Summer is full of fun in the sun and seasonal treats, like popsicles and other frozen favorites to keep cool in the hot weather.  Our kids have been having a blast riding their bikes up to 7-11 to buy Slurpees a few times a week in addition to some jaunts to Homer’s, our local ice cream parlor!  It’s a good thing that summer is fleeting and these “treat trips” will soon come to an end.

However, when we were out shopping, we spotted these super-cool, DIY machines for making Sno-Cones and Shaved Ice so the frozen goodies could go on and on…
