I had grand
visions of writing a big post about our church’s Back2School Bash and showing
you pictures of all the fun we had. Turns out when you’re running a snow cone
stand, you don’t have time to take pictures, so I think I have two for you. But
I can tell you about it!
I’ve done photography at this
event the last few years, but honestly, my favorite thing about serving at
events is getting to work alongside Ryan. And since we did different jobs at
this one, we never got to see each other once the day began. So this year I
asked if he’d be up for doing the same job, and he was super excited about
that.
He’s done snow cones before, and
he loves it, so I signed up to make those with him. Two of our friends rounded
out our team, and we figured out a system in no time flat.
Ryan fed the ice into the ice
shaver and packed all the snow cone cups for us. The kids (and the big kids!) told
us the flavor(s) they wanted, and the rest of us pumped flavor and poured snow
cap on top.
I loved watching the kids
try to figure out their flavor combos. Only a very few wanted every single one.
Cotton candy and blue raspberry were, by far, the most popular flavors. A handful of adults just wanted plain ice. (It
was hotttttttttttt out there, so that made sense.)
The time absolutely flew. I
think we were an hour and a half into the two-hour event before I even looked
at my watch. Whew!
I loved serving with
Ryan. I think we should do that again next year.
And as for the rest of the event…just
imagine bounce houses and crafts and face painting and free donuts and carnival
games and haircuts and shopping and backpacks and music and prizes….just imagine
it!
