Ice Cream Anyone

Yesterday was National Ice Cream Day - 3rd Sunday in July

From Holiday Insights:

When you get the urge for a snack on a hot, humid summer night, what's the first thing that comes to your mind? That's right....Ice Cream! Therefore, it's only fitting that ice cream be given it's own special day. On this day, we hope you enjoy an ice cream cone, a sundae, or a milk shake. Set the diet aside and splurge a little...have one of each!

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed July as National Ice Cream Month. He also established National Ice Cream Day as the third Sunday in the month.

Ice cream is nutritious. A little heavy on the sugar and calories, ice cream is otherwise good for you. Its base ingredient is milk, which is loaded with healthy vitamins and minerals.

A note from me:

I took my hubby on a mini-date and we ended up at Coldstone Creamery here in Great Falls, MT. It was the first time visiting for both of us. He had a strawberry cheesecake milkshake and I had a Strawberry Sundae Funnel Cake Creation. Out of this world these desserts were!!!

I just signed up on their online site to receive coupons on birthday notices for the whole family. The kids will be excited when their special times roll around.

Speaking of the kids . . . they were a little flustered when we arrived back home telling them of our outing. The question came up as to why we didn't bring them back anything. I told them with 95+ degrees in temperature out of doors and our van with no air conditioning that everything would have been soupy. Maybe next trip!!!
