Ellie loves reading the Guinness Book of World Records, so when we had the opportunity to be a part of a world record attempt…we took it!
Last Saturday we drove up to Ludington to help The House of Flavors build a half-mile long ice cream sundae. (You can read about the "not-official-yet" record
here.) Our group of seven (our family, Kyle's mom, and two of the neighbors) was divided between two tables – two
Scoopers and five
Toppers. Amy and I were Scoopers and had five minutes to empty one of those giant ice cream containers (the type you see at the ice cream shop) over 4' of sundae. Next up, Kyle had an 8lb. container of chocolate that he poured over 8' of ice cream while Jessica, Zack, Ellie and Josie covered it all in whipped cream (in less than a minute!) The final step was a cherry place on top every 12" or so.
Once the entire sundae was built we waited for the officials to video document the entire half mile of dessert before we could dish it out to the more than 12,000 hungry people that were hovering behind us. We spent two hours waiting for the assembly, five minutes putting it together, then ten minutes dishing it out. Intense, but so fun!
