Scooper Bowl 2013

So we decided to try out a new event in Downtown Boston this year.  We packed up and headed out to the Scooper Bowl!  It is a fundraiser that they hold every year to raise money for the Jimmy Fund.  You pay an entrance fee and then you get to sample as much ice cream as you could possibly want. And luckily they give pretty small scoops in the cups, so you don't have to feel bad about trying a ton of different kinds.

We rode the T in, which was half of the fun for the boys.

But it turned out they liked the ice cream too.

And we went through a lot of wet wipes.

When I was trying to decide whether to make the effort to make the trip into the city, I came across the list of flavors... I mean, how can you say no to this??  (When we got there, there were even more vendors)

We didn't try everything, but we tried a lot!  I think that the Baskin Robbins Blueberry Shortbread was my favorite, and you can't go wrong with Friendly's Forbidden Fudge.  There were a ton of good ones.  The boys of course liked the Birthday Celebration and Cotton Candy, and silly things like that.

Here we are with some of our friends!

It was certainly a good idea to go with a bunch of people.  The moms all took turns running to the different stands and bringing back all sorts of flavors to keep these mouths full!

These awesome friends keep track of how many cups they eat...I don't remember what the total was, but they beat their record, which was 32...

They had a few more people to help than we did, but I don't think we were too far behind.

I think we will be going back next year.  And bringing our daddy with us. :)
