All you can eat...ice cream?

Yeppers.  You read correctly.  All the ice cream that you could ever want to eat.  This, I might add, can wreak havoc on a lactose-intolerant digestive system
We took our annual pilgrimage to visit Blue Bell Creamery.  Every year, on the last Saturday in June, Blue Bell holds its infamous "Taste of Summer".  Translation: all the ice cream, popsicles, fudge bars, ice cream sandwiches, and bomb pops you can eat and all for the low, low price of $5 per person.  Jason always makes a dent in their inventory.  Ethan eats as much ice cream as his little body can handle. I end up sitting on the toilet for the rest of the afternoon.  You'd think I'd learn by now, but no.
Taste of Summer is a real treat for those who people watch.  Boy, howdy, you see all kinds.  The funniest part is the ice cream eating contest.  The contest pits people against each other to see who can eat a half gallon of ice cream the fastest.  This, my friends, is so sad because quite a few contestants afterward are seen with their heads over the nearest trash can.  I'm sorry but the idea of eating a half gallon of ice cream in under 3 minutes and then puking your guts out just to win bragging rights and a free half gallon of more ice cream does not sound appealing AT ALL.
All in all, a good time was had by all, even though I have spent the last 18 hours in the potty room.  Maybe next time I'll remember the Lactaid.
