And my favorite ice cream is always (my) Grandma’s Old-Fashioned Homemade Tutti Frutti Ice Cream. My kids had a spectacular time playing and participating in the same activities we always did as kids–a huge candy toss and finding coins in a pile of sawdust.Īs fun as the reunion games are, my favorite part has always been the homemade ice cream at then end. Last year was the first year in a very long time, probably over 10 years, that we were able to go to the reunion. Every summer there is a family reunion with that side of the family. I loved visiting there when I was a little girl.Ī few weeks ago we drove by with my kids and I got a little choked up thinking about my family and my great-grandmother and my great-great-aunt who lived on the corner.
Many of their children still live on the same block in Salt Lake City. My paternal grandmother grew up on the same block as her grandparents and all of her aunts, uncles, and cousins. And it is that time of year again for my family. In my mind, you can’t have one without the other. Fruits used for tutti frutti ice cream include cherries, raisins, and pineapple, often augmented with nuts. Let’s talk family reunions and old-fashioned homemade ice cream for a minute.
