Ever since we went to Buckeye Days about 6 years ago Tom has not stopped talking about the home made ice cream that he ate there. For anyone that's had home made ice cream you know how much better it is than store bought. So Grandpa has been telling Tom for a while that he would help him learn how to make it. It turns out that we really haven't been able to make it to Iowa during the summer for a long time and that is the best time to do it. So we finally were able to get up there this summer and ice cream making was on our list.
First you have to cook the pudding on the stove and Tom thought the girls were going to do that part, but we made him do it all by himself :)

Tom had a great time! After you get all of the ingrediants together you have to hand crank it in the freezer for about 45 minutes then let it sit covered in ice for an hour. Him and Grandpa took turns doing the cranking.
Ahhh, the best part, tasting all of the hard work... And it was definately worth it... so good and we had it with mashed strawberries on top! Mmmmm!
We got to Grandma and Grandpa's pretty early on Tuesday morning and me and Grandma made kringla before lunch and Grandpa and Tom were in charge of the ice cream before we had dinner. After dinner we enjoyed the ice cream and strawberries and had a nice relaxing chat in the living room until bed time. We spent the night and then got up and Grandma made us scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast in the morning and we were off for our next adventure to Ottumwa, IA to visit Jenny and Roman.
