Snow Ice Cream

I am so tired of snow!  However, I have heard many of my friends talking about making snow ice cream for their kids.  So today, we embraced the snow and tried it for ourselves!
I have to say, it is pretty good and will be making this every time it snows!

Snow Ice Cream
8 cups of white snow 
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix and serve.  
You can top it with any kind of toppings!

Enjoy!
