I used to play this game with my grandma ALL THE TIME when I was little…ALL the time. I had totally forgotten about it until we went to the toy store to check out some games the other day and there it was! I HAD to get it and teach the boys how to play. Granted, you don’t need an actual board game to play Kings’ Corners, all you need is a deck of cards, but since I hadn’t played in probably twenty-plus years, we checked out the board game version hoping there would be directions in there and there were!!!

The boys love ice cream, so we decided to make our own. You just need two Ziploc baggies, some ice and some salt. Then you need milk, some sugar and some vanilla. Colm is a chocolate boy, however, so he decided he just wanted to use his chocolate soy milk. Great! That’s even easier. So, I helped him get everything together and he went out on the back porch and shook, and shook and shook some more until he had ice cream. That’s good, right? Well, you wouldn’t have known it by his reaction. He was mad!!! I am not sure what he was expecting, but whatever it was was not in that bag when the ice cream was done. I think he was mad because it didn’t make a lot. He said he didn’t want it, so not wanting it to go to waste, I started eating it. THAT was a bad idea. That made him even madder. He ended up eating some ice cream that we had in the freezer and that seemed to smooth things over.
Happily shaking his ice cream…before things went south.
