They get Sno-balls! Believe it or not, Sno-balls are very different than snow cones (and much better). Sno-balls are much softer due to how the ice is shaved (versus snow cones which are just chipped and crushed ice) and they are extra tasty because of the copious amounts of syrup that is drizzled from top to bottom.
Anyway, it certainly was hot enough for Sno-balls after our walk downtown and the kids were looking pretty wilted and parched. So we did what any local would do-- we made our way to Sal's on Metairie Road to get ourselves some sweet ice-y goodness in a cup!
Troy and Peyton ordered the Purple Dawn which are Strawberry and Spearmint syrups put together. Those two combinations wouldn't ordinarily sound good together, but it was actually quite tasty!
Chloe and I ordered the Joker which were Rasperry, Blackberry and Grape syrups all put together.
Did you notice the LSU shirt in this picture? I told you they're crazy about their LSU Tigers here! :-)
Peyton didn't want to wait for Daddy to give him a spoon full so he grabbed a chunk of ice off the top as I was taking this picture! His aim isn't always the best so most of it landed on his feet which were in sandals and it gave him a bit of a shiver.
Once Chloe had one bite, that was all she wrote! She was barely patient enough for me to take a bite and quickly dip the spoon back in to give her a turn once more!
That's one wine colored face of satisfaction!
Such happiness over a simple pleasure!
I'm not sure she liked it, are you? We might have to try it again sometime to see for sure. ;-)
Check out Mr. Strawberry Lips! I'm thinking next time we shouldn't walk so close to the cemetary- he looks possessed! Then again, we've been thinking that long before this trip.
Maybe it's just because he's a toddler.
But then again, you never know; ESPECIALLY when you're in New Orleans. :-0
