man v. ice cream

Another exercise in creative scheduling tonight. There were big storms in the Rapid City area this afternoon and evening, so tonight's trip to Mt. Rushmore was cancelled. The kids were pretty bummed out ... especially about missing the famed Mt. Rushmore ice cream shop. Luckily, there's an equally-famous ice cream place a few blocks from the church (yaay God!). Their specialty: 44-oz milkshakes. Check out the evidence (and the results) for yourself:

Michael M., Andrew S. and Gunnar G.

132 oz. of milkshake. 3 straws. You do the math.
