Tuesday we headed out to the park after our studies were done. It was a beautiful day in So. Ca. The kids, Emma-the-wonder-labradoodle and I went to the park to enjoy the day, the playground, and to walk. We picked up Shamrock Shakes on the way.
Shamrock Shakes are a really good memory from my childhood. I love passing on this St. Patrick's day tradition to my kids.
Yum :)
Shamrock Shakes X 5 kids = ouch, however.
I decided after this splurge, that maybe we should try making our own at home for St. Patrick's Day.
Home-made {easy} Shamrock shakes
2 cups vanilla bean ice-cream
1 1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon mint extract
4 drops green food color
(doubled this to make enough for my crew) I put a banana in the first batch to make it healthy...but decided you could taste the banana too much. It was still good, but not the same Shamrock shake taste I was going for.
The taste verdict: Yum!
The homemade version of Shamrock Shakes was a hit. We will for sure do these at home next year.
And happiness reigned in homeschool land
The End.
