Snow Cones from Real Snow!

This weekend Brayden and I made snow cones with the snow from our backyard.  It's something I've been wanting to do with him ever since he discovered eating snow (of course I steer him away from the yellow snow!)  I remember being a kid and always eating the snow, it always tasted so good to me.  Kind of funny to me now that I'm older, but I love watching Brayden do something I use to do.  

This was a really fun experience and I would recommend it to anyone with kids!

 

 Recipe for the snow cone syrup:

• 2/3 cup of sugar
• 1/3 cup of water
• .14 oz (1 packet) of any flavor Kool Aid

Boil the sugar and water then add the Kool Aid - allow it to cool and pour over your snow :)
