Snow cones and fire

Lukas, Noah and Bob helped set up and get the Snow Cone machine going at the annual church picnic. The middle schoolers were in charge of serving, but someone had to get the machine going, haul the ice and set up the area. Bob and the boys learned together how to operate, one for all three of them, new machine.  A lot of ingenuity, perseverance and problem solving finally yielded sticky, cold, and popular snow cones.

One other area that Noah and Lukas quickly volunteered to assist in was getting the charcoal fire started. Along with several other boys they went through a few boxes of matches before the fire finally took hold and began to burn.
Picnic set up can be a lot of fun....
