The summer heat is taking its toll on me. The kids want to be outside but after 5 minutes I want to call it a day. The sweat is dripping down my face and I’m over on the outdoor furniture trying to play it cool like it’s not affecting me. Oh, but it is. If only I could bring the sprinkler or trampoline inside while I bask in the AC controlled house.

This past week we devoured the Peach Ice Cream, so it was on to something else for the afternoon snacks. Nothing warm because everyone needs a little pick me up to cool off when summer heat hits. Our new choice for an afternoon snack was this Chocolate Cookies and Cream Ice Cream. I say “was” because it only lasted in our house for two days. It looks like I’m going to need to go back to the drawing board for another ice cream recipe to make it through the rest of the summer and this unbearable heat.

Luckily I’ve got vacation planned for us at a waterpark in Grapevine, TX. I’ve needed some time away and this family getaway is just perfect for us. Hopefully, it won’t be too hot but there will be plenty of activities for us inside the resort as well.
