Take a Chance on Monkey Pants

To end the 3 day weekend, Josh and Abi made homemade ice cream. Not just any homemade ice cream...Abi's very own creation...a new ice cream flavor called 'Take a Chance on Monkey Pants'. A name cleverly created by Josh which incorporates one of our many nicknames for Abi.

All of this came about when Josh made strawberry ice cream a few months back. After tasting it, Abi said, "Dad, this is good but I think you should make chocolate ice cream and add chocolate chips, marshmallows, pretzels and cherries". So, there it was - our next flavor was determined. On our way home from Lake Chelan, we stopped at a fruit stand and picked up some fresh cherries, borrowed Ferryboat Grandma's old-school ice cream maker and we were in business. Josh and Abi worked late into the night and it was well worth it. After a night in the freezer, we got our first taste when we all had ice cream for breakfast. It was delicious! Now we're just waiting for Ben & Jerry to call...
