Who’s Hungry?

Spending time outside will make you hungry! Anything cold is perfect to cool off. Don’t forget drinks because I’m sure everyone is thirsty. We’ve had a snow cone machine for years and it’s always a hit when kids come over to play. Don’t forget to stock some paper snow cone cups and a bunch of syrups because the kids love making their own concoctions.
