I've been keeping a secret from you guys. I started without y'all. I only had three snow cones, but I didn't critique them :((( I promise I will post a review as soon as possible!

Here's a little teaser

Happy summer!!!!!!

Another Blog!?

Well, summer's over. sob. not really. It's more like frown. Snow cones stands are closed. So i started Birdy's List! I may mention the occasional sweet, but It's mainly about fashion. Check it out!

Sadness!

I've been VERY VERY VERY busy lately! So that explains my lack of posts, but I did add a new page! I thought it would be helpful if you could scroll through all my snow cone pics. 

So anyway, summer's pretty much over. Sad. And that means all the snow cone stands close. Double sad. AND, on top of that, school starts. Triple sad! Gosh, it's getting really sad! BUT, dance starts. Happy. Cooler weather. Double happy. And I get to see my friends. Triple happy! 

So I should probably mention that I went to my grandma's house for a week, made the dance team (!), saw all 5 grandparents in 1 road trip to Colorado, and went to camp! Ya, not much blogging time! But I probably could have found the time. But then I would have to get a snow cone which I haven't done in awhile. BUT, we did try (but failed) to get a snow cone on vacation!

So I'm thinking about doing a year-round blog about maybe fashion-ish stuff and maybe do like a story-type blog about my vacation! It all depends on how bored I get! So I guess it's bye for now, but I'll tell ya when I make my new blog (s)! Tomorrow I'll be back with pics! Oh, and I missed the new arrivals! (Again?!) But I'll still share my thoughts on mid-season arrivals tomorrow! Wait..... It's not mid-season! But not like REALLY new..... So I dub them not-that-new-but-still-pretty-new-arrivals! Ya, I'll work on that! ;)

Snow Cones: IDK!

Happy belated 4th of July! We found a snow cone place in the middle of of the country! There's like one good restaurant in the area, and they just put a new snow cone stand in. I'm not exactly sure what it's called, but it might be Natty Flats (the name of the restaurant). 

Or Davis' Corn Crib! They also sell roasted corn. Anyway...


Selection: *** Um, good. Great for being in the middle of nowhere! I was surprised we saw one! But it was pretty good!

I got granny smith apple and cherry. It was a surprisingly amazing combo! I thought grasshopper (mint chocolate chip) and spiderman sound pretty cool for a snow cone! 


Bees, Wasps, and Stinging Bugs: **** No stinging bugs, but I did see a few grasshoppers. I am deathly scared of grasshoppers! I hate them. And I know that they can't hurt me, but I don't like them. 


Lines: **** Surprisingly, after we got our snow cones, a line formed! Not crazy long, but still, it was a line! 


Ice: *** Good, but it wasn't shaved. Or at least, I don't think it was. It was actually pretty good though. There was a big chunk at the top, but after the initial chunk, it was awesome!

Toppings: * Um, there weren't any. Ya, no toppings.


Snow Cone: **** Amazing! For a tiny town. I'm way impressed! 


Any snow cone places in surprising locations? I was NOT expecting that! Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that we didn't stay for the 4th, and they couldn't use fireworks either. Boo hoo. And John Wilkes Booth died in Granberry, or however you spell it! Anyway, not one firework went off in Austin or anywhere near hear! On a random note:

Yep, country sunset!

Snow Cones: Bahama Freeze, Part iii

Dance, dance, dance, dance, snow cone! That's pretty much how it went. I did ballet, jazz, lyrical, and tap. Then my mom picked me up, and I told her I was hungry. For some unknown reason, she let me get a Bahama Freeze! Arianna, from http://awesometasticalsummerstuff.blogspot.com , suggested Rock 'n Roll, and it's awesome!  Thanks Arianna! The lady said that it was like grape, blue raspberry, and blueberry! Bahama Freeze is kinda tropical-ish and a bit berry-ish! It's the light blue one. Rock 'n Roll is the purple one. Oh, and the lady was sooo sweet! Little did she know, she was in the presence of a world class (not really! =D ) snow cone critic!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that she put a small sized ice block in a medium cup! Genius! It's hard to see, but there's a lot of purple at the bottom. 

This is what it looked like when I was done!

Thoughts? Suggestions? Any non-selfexplanitory flavors I should try? Has anyone "reviewed" a snow cone stand iii times? I love doing 3 I's instead of a 3! Anyone else?

Happy Early 4th in July!

Hey! When I was little I called 4th of July the 4th in July! I also called a granola bar a tookie! I thought it was a cookie, but I couldn't say that! Anyway, in Austin, there is a huge drought, so we can't use fireworks. UGH! My family usually sits on our back deck to watch two separate firework displays! It's so awesome! Here's where we sit

So this the spot we stare at for hours on end.

Did I mention we can't use fireworks? Yes, I did, but it's so devastating that I had to say it twice for it to sink in. So we have to use fireworks somewhere else. The solution: my grandparents ranch! It's only about 3ish 2ish hours away, and we're driving up there on Friday! It's in a tiny town called Lipan, and it even has a town square! I can't wait! I'll make sure to take lots of pics, and maybe try to review something. There aren't any snow cone stands in Lipan, but I could find something blog-worthy! We're gonna eat bar-b-que and pancakes, and hang out with horses! The most important thing: We're using fireworks if all goes well!!! I'm kidding! I get to see my grandparents! I haven't seen them in forever! Can y'all tell that I'm unbelievably excited? 


Can y'all use fireworks? Should I review a non-snow-cone-y dessert? Will ice cream work?  Does anyone else have a town square? Fun fact: Abraham Lincon's killer, John Wilkes Booth, fled to Lipan and opened a barber shop! He confessed on his deathbed! I think the gun is still there! It might be a museum now. I'm not sure!

Answers:

If you chose mostly As...
You are exactly like me! I'd suggest Melonberry or a soda with a fruity flavor and cream on top. BTW, I'm just suggesting random flavors!


If you chose mostly Bs...
You are pretty calm and laid back. I would try a cream soda or vanilla-y flavor with root beer or cola. 


If you chose mostly Cs...
You are classic and very patriotic. You should try fruity flavors like apple, grape, cherry, or tropical flavors.


If you chose mostly Ds...
You are very girly. Anything pink or exciting will probably taste awesome to you. Maybe try something with cherry or sour apple. Try sweet with sour.


If you chose mostly Es...
You are reasonable and dependable. Try mixing fruity flavors that may not seem like they go together like raspberry and banana or lime and blueberry. Berry flavors are always a good choice.


If you chose mostly Fs...
You are obviously a ghost. You can't eat because the snow cone would fall right through you. I'm curious as to why you are reading a snow cone blog. But if you insist, I would try any flavor that sounds interesting like Tiger's Blood or Rock n' Roll. Or anything black or bloody-looking.
   


In conclusion, this means absolutely nothing! I wasted your time. I just made up up random things. If I'm right, awesome! If I'm not, too bad! I warned you! L8er!


Am I right? Any thoughts? Anyone a snow-cone-blog-reading-ghost? I'm a melonberry lover! What about y'all?
