I love Snow Cones

I just love snow cones.

As silly as it sounds, I look forward to summer because of the snow cone stands. 

In past years I have even scoped out which snow cone stands make a good snow cone by packing the ice just right, adding the right amount of syrup (a lot), and presenting a good flavor. 

Now, I live in Oregon.  Last summer was a bit of a whirl wind with being new to the area, pregnant and traveling so much.  I didn't seem to notice any snow cone places, but I thought I probably just wasn't looking in the right place.

This summer, I made a big effort to find all the snow cone stands. Alas, there are NONE. 

 How could this be? 

Thanks to google, I was able to hunt down a Hawaiian restaurant not too far from us that serves snow cones.  What do you think I did?  I made it our one weekly family outing, and had to take pictures to document it.

Here we have it, ladies and gent's.  $3.50 snow cone.... Oregon style.

Yes, I'm very disappointed.  One small snow cone, in a trendy plastic dish for $3.50.  I think the regular size was about a buck more.  

These are the days when I REALLY MISS UTAH!!!
