i scream, you scream

we all scream for ice cream! today we made ice cream IN A BAG. i figured that we already had everything on hand so what a great way to beat the heat.  emma and her friend had so much fun "cooking" with us this afternoon.  and they LOVED the ice cream after lunch. 

here's the recipe if you're interested in a fun and easy way to make your own ice cream.
ingredients:
- 1 cup milk (use chocolate milk if preferred)
- 1 tsp. of sugar
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 quart resealable bag
- 1 gallon resealable bag
- several spoonfuls of rock salt
- enough ice to cover the small bag

place milk, sugar, and vanilla into the small bag and zip the bag securely. put the small bag into the larger bag. add ice and salt. let your toddler shake the bag gently for about 5 minutes. when it is done, the ice cream, will have the consistency of soft serve. enjoy!
