What ice cream sundae?

Remember when I got all dramatic and declared it to be:

The Summer of the Ice Cream Sundae!

Remember that?

Yeah, well.

That was before it proceeded to rain every other second,

and before I discovered I had made plans 

to continuously travel the planet once again.

[At least my range was smaller this year...]

Anyway,

it doesn't matter,

because my dear friend Kyra saved the day

with her discovery of:

The Mexican Chocolate Milkshake!

Really kids,

it's delicious.

We had it one day when we were celebrating a milestone in her life,

and then I had her and Amy and Caleb over one night and

--before we knew what was happening!--

we somehow ended up making them again.

[That was also the night I ended up throwing my precious milkshake clear across the room, but that is another story. 

Speaking of being dramatic.]

But, now that summer is over and Katy has come back,

we discovered yet another reason to indulge.

Hence, this week, there was a "yay you're back!" dinner,

 and then Kyra and I set to work.

 [This girl is serious about her milkshakes.]

 I whipped up the [secret!] ingredients in my new fancy blender,

 distributed it evenly among some glassware,

 and there you have it kids:

 Heaven.

Summer may be over, 

but we are now reunited,

and with milkshakes!!!
