Best Ice Cream

Grand Prize Winners - Ice Cream in a Can

The photos on this computer are limited in general, and of me in particular - since I'm the one usually taking them.  Last year the kid wanted to participate in the "4H Ice Cream in a Can" competition at the county fair, and I was her partner.  We made chocolate chip mint, and took home the big rosette. 

No make-up in this photo, although the kid wanted "festive hair" for the summer and went blonde - only her hair is resistant to most dye, so it wasn't as light as she would have liked.  Oh well.  The crazed look is genetic.

I come across many people who dislike the mint-chocolate-ice cream combo. I, however, love it. Congrats on the win. I'm also quite jealous of the 4H thing. We didn't have such a thing growing up.
Rated for quality mother-daughter time.
