Buckets of homemade ice cream, all made by my family![/caption]
Making ice cream for the 4th of July has been a tradition with our family since my mother's father was a kid. Even though both my grandparents are gone now, their kids are keeping the tradition alive.
We had to push the gathering to July 5th this year, but my mother and 3 of her 5 siblings plus spouses, children and grandchildren all gathered for a family cookout that, as always, ended with ice cream. Because one of my mom's brothers now lives in my grandparents' house, we are still gathering at the same house we have been going to for well over 40 years.
The ice cream makers (my mom Linda in the center, my dad Ray in front, then two of my uncles Dave and Bill to the right in back, my brother Ray on the left, and Dave's wife Karen) are still stirring up fun for my children and their cousins.
