Snow much fun

We are in the middle of a major winter storm here in good ole Kansas. School was canceled today and has already been canceled again for tomorrow. This is quite a storm for Kansas. Being from Utah we are pretty familiar with big snow storms but the below freezing temps that are coming later this week are not so familiar.
Tonight we decided to have a little fun with all the snow outside our door and made snow ice cream. It was actually not too bad, not great but definitely edible or at least Jake thought so.
Here are the instructions in case any of you out there are surrounded by lots of white stuff of your own and want to have a little fun with it.

Snow Ice Cream

Get a metal bowl, nestle it in the snow.
Put 3 cups of fresh snow in bowl.
Add 2 Tbs of milk, 1/4 C. sugar and 1 tsp vanilla(adjust to taste)
Stir and eat!

Like i said it was not too bad. It got mixed reviews at our house. Cody kept saying that he wanted to eat it without the snow in it, i don't think he really got the whole concept. Jake kept coming back for more. I just thought it was fun to make. We finished the evening off with a family game of Mickey Mouse Yahtzee. It was a fun snowy night in and i think we have a couple more ahead of us this week.
