Day 9- This one's a tasty one

Well, I did have an idea for an outside activity this evening, but a MASSIVE storm system curtailed that plan real quick.

So, I decided to SUFFER through eating another summer treat. Ladies and gents, let's discuss the Coke Float.

Now, according to Wikipedia, the ice cream soda was invented in 1874 when some poor soda selling schmuck ran out of ice. He slapped some vanilla ice cream in the glass to help keep the soda cold and VOILA! A fantastic treat was born!

Mmmm, MMMM! That would be a gleeful expression on my face. Dee-lish. I don't think this is going to be a one time thing this summer. And I think you should make it a regular habit, as well.

By the way, if you did all the above steps correctly, this is what you should end up with:
