During the summer months, many families have reunions, and some grandchildren get to spend a week in the home of their grandparents or the grandparents get to take their grandchildren to a GrandCamp hosted by Christian Grandparents Network. However, if you run out of ideas to interact and entertain their grandchildren ask God for ideas or read some books that have ideas. I would like to share a summer fun idea with you from Janet Teitsort’s book Long distance Grandparenting

An Ice Cream Delight

2 gallon-size storage bags

Ice (crushed or cubed)

6 Tablespoons table salt

¾ cup milk

1 ½ tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

Fill one of the gallon bags half-full of ice along with table salt. Fill the second gallon bag with the milk, sugar, and vanilla. Place the second bag inside the bag of ice. Shake until solid. This recipe makes enough for one person, so make additional batches for the number of people who want ice cream. Enjoy!¹
