Homemade Lemon Ice Cream
Kids get bored in the summer. There is no way around it. My kids are visiting their cousins and even though they are all together and have missed each other, they still get bored and then the trouble starts. Making homemade ice cream is a good way to keep them busy, especially if they can help prepare the lemon ice cream in a really cool ice cream maker!
