Flavored Puddles

Today we had a nice break from the hot weather. A break from afternoons cooped up in the conditioned air. A break from popsicles. A break from cleaning up after popsicles.

Why does Ellie prefer the taste of flavored ice in its melted form... when dripping down her arm into a puddle at her feet?

I'm sure I'll miss these scenes in a few short months. For now, we'll enjoy all the flavored ice we can make an excuse to eat... and give the kids lots of baths.
