Because I don't have kids to blog about, I blog about ice cream.

July was National Ice Cream Month so like any ice cream lover would do, I celebrated! I tried to hit all the basic forms of ice cream. I'll add a disclaimer to the following pictures...much running and salads were had this month too!




#1 Soft Serve-Dairy Freeze-Parowan, UT








#2 Frozen Yogurt- Maverik-Delish. Need I say more.






#3 Gelato- Lake Las Vegas- Free Movie Night on the Lake- Chocolate Hazelnut-Think Nutella.



#4 Sundaes- Ice Cream Overload Cafe, Henderson





Ice Cream Overload Cafe- They claim that they have the World's Largest Ice Cream Menu. There was a back to this too!






#5 Frozen Custurd- Nielson's, Henderson







My ice cream loving roommate!





#6 Frozen Yogurt (again!) U-Swirl, Henderson. This place was amazing! It's basically a frozen yogurt fan's heaven. Seriously. You walk in, fill up the cup with whatever 12 different froyo flavors you want, and add on whatever toppings. Then pay by weight.








































My Friend Amber's creation (Below). Mine is the next one. The weight thing scared me.



#7 Sherbet-Don't get Kate started about the pronunciation of this word. Tomato, tomatoe. Sherbet, Sherburt.

Where is that U-swirl place? Looks like a fun place for the kids to make their own creations.
