Ice Cream Sandwich Day 2010

Some of you may remember that I discovered a worthwhile tradition last year in the form of Ice Cream Sandwich Day (you can head over to the blog post about it here). It was such a hit that I got really excited about doing it again this year - so I had the ice cream sandwiches already in my freezer and strictly forbade anyone from getting close to them until the appropriate date finally arrived, which if finally did. I was so excited about taking pictures of the fun we would be having that I didn't properly check my camera settings and ended up with a bunch of pictures that looked like this:

Definitely not as lovely as the pictures I captured last year. *Sigh* There was also the fact that the girls just weren't as excited about the ice cream sandwiches this year.
Thankfully I did manage to change my settings as still capture a picture or two of the girls enjoying their sandwiches.

While I didn't get the fabulous pictures of the rapt enjoyment over this little holiday that I had been hoping for I did manage to take a picture that I absolutely love. Of course my favorite picture for the evening wasn't one of the kids or anything I would have expected it to be but rather the one of this dismissed (rapidly melting) frozen dessert. Just goes to show that you never know how things are going to turn out and while something may seem like a complete bust you usually walk away with something - you just might have to change your perspective a bit.

Ice Cream Sandwich Day

For those of you not in the know Aug. 2 was Ice Cream Sandwich Day. Naturally I was prepared for such an event (even being thousands of miles away from home...what can I say - it's a gift ;) ) Here are some of the choice images from the day - of course Riepe and Chamberlain were involved as well but where Riepe may be a precise and slower eater in other foods ice cream sandwiches he is not - that thing was gone long before I was able to get the camera in order. I also missed Chamberlain enjoying her treat. Still if the other three are any proof I'd say the day was a great success. Mark it on your calendars for next year - it's one of those days that shouldn't be missed!
