I love snow days. I love telling the kids that they do not have school and seeing their excitement that they get a day in the snow. It is a little too cold out today to play so I was trying to find some thing else fun that involved snow.

I found a delicious and fun thing. It is called snow cream. It is very simple to make and my kids loved it.

You send the kids outside to fill a bowl of snow. My kids gathered about 10 cups of snow. Then in a separate bowl you mix 1 cup of snow, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Stir it until the sugar is dissolved and then add the snow to the mixture. It was wonderful. It really did taste like ice cream. I can not believe how simple it was. I know there are other recipes that use condensed milk and half and half, but this was easy and it used all the ingredients that I had already in my house.

I am sure I will be asked to make it many times again.
