Snow Cones

Katherine has been begging to go to the local snow cone/shaved ice place all summer, but it has been so hot that I've never had the enthusiasm to take her.  Tonight it was still 104 degrees at 6 PM, but cooler temperatures are forcasted for later this week.  So, in celebration of the possibility of cooler weather, we went out for some shaved ice.

I can't remember if Rachel had ever had snow cones or shaved ice, but she thought it was great.

Of course, we all had to taste each other's ice.

Rachel's Hello Kitty flavor (cotton candy and wedding cake syrups - chosen because it was pink) was so disgustingly sweet that even Katherine wanted only one bite.

Rachel, of course, didn't care.  And Hello Kitty made for a great overly pink tongue!
