Our summer solstice party was a blast! It's so great to have so much fun with friends and ice cream... and what a great excuse for a party!
The only rule for the summer solstice at our house is there is no limit to how much ice cream you can eat during the day, and homemade ice cream with fresh strawberries are a must!
This year, we decided to invite some friends along... 36 people took part in our tradition with us this year! I was able to get a picture of everyone other than Jenny, myself and Kajsa: see below.
Rob ate a fudgecicle for breakfast, a pina colada ice cream cone with Joel at 10 am, a frappacino from Starbucks in the afternoon, 3 bowls of ice cream at the party, and one more before bed!
I felt sick by the end of the night, and the kids went to down to sleep in about 2.2 seconds after they laid their heads down.
I had 2 bowls at the party, a coffee toffee milkshake with lunch and a bite of Rob's ice cream before bed... only because he refused to share any more! Great fun had by all. We're always talking about inviting people over and having more parties. No body seemed to mind that we'd have all you can eat ice cream! We went through two of the big tubs of ice cream, a canister of homemade ice cream (my favorite) and several portions of random 1/2 gallons. We had strawberries, nutter butters, oreos, butterfingers, sprinkles, skor, gummy bears, cookies, nuts, syrups and more! For those who came we're glad you could make it, and for those who couldn't, we wish you could have been here! Maybe next year!

I totally want to steal your idea for this holiday and institute it at our own house when we have kids. You're so cool. :)
