Scooper Bowl

So for three days in downtown Boston, there is an annual event called the Scooper Bowl. This year was the 27th annual, each person pays $8 to enter, and it is all you can eat ice cream, frozen yogurt, sorbet, etc. The $8 goes to the Jimmy Fund/Dana Farber cancer research. In the end, it is a great exchange, yummy ice cream for finding a cure. We tried to get a big group together, but alas, in Boston, we have so many lame people who always back out of activities. Only a few of us stalwarts showed. It was rainy, superwindy, and really cold for the middle of June, but we had lots of yummy ice cream and a fun time, despite the weather. Katie, Me, Maddie, and Alison-here we are with our ice cream cups, one scoop per cup...I totally won with 12 cups (and I honestly could have had more, but I decided not to make myself sick)

Me posing with the stack of ice cream cups-this stack is all of our cups stacked together, but I could have umm....eaten that much if I wanted?!

Katie is obsessed with ice cream, but was sorely disappointed that she could only handle 9 cups.

Maddie and I got downtown first, so we had an early start and got to spread our ice cream consumption over more time; she ended up eating 9 cups, too.

Alison had the latest start, but she still ate 7 or 8 cups. After this picture, she took the entire stack over to the trash can, and one of the employees was staring at her in utter shock...he honestly thought for a minute that she had eaten all of that...no way!

My favorites: Brigham's Black Raspberry Frozen Yogurt, Ben & Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie Chunk, and Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Macadamia. There were some interesting ones-like Maine Lobster Tracks, Take a Cake, and Rock n Roll Swirl.

I LOVE ICE CREAM! I will definitely have to do this event again next year!
