    Celebrate the first day of summer with this cool tradition everyone will love! 

    summer-family-tradition-idea-first-day-of-summer this awesome idea!

    WHEN IS THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER? 

    The first official day of summer is on June 21!  Whether it falls on a weekend or weeknight, I've got a fun and simple summer tradition for you! 

    Especially if you love food and want the easiest dinner ever! 

    YOU SAID WHAT FOR DINNER?

    I can't take the credit for coming up with this summer fun tradition, but I'm so glad my friend told me about her family's first day of summer tradition. 

    On the first day of summer, eat ice cream for dinner! 

    You heard that right. June 21 will now be known as "ice cream for dinner" day. How is that for making up a new June holiday?

    This is one dinner that you won't have to hear any complaints about. Plus, it's probably the easiest dinner you'll ever make, too.

    ICE CREAM DINNER IDEAS 

    Feel free to put out a veggie tray and rolls if you'd like, but the fun of this is that children are allowed to eat just ice cream if they want! 

    Here's some different ice cream ideas for you:

    • Let everyone pick out their favorite pint.
    • Let everyone choose their favorite ice cream topping for an ice cream sundae bar. 
    • Make ice cream in a can (by rolling it, no machine required!) 
    • Have an Ice Cream themed party
    • Eat this Chex crust Ice Cream Pie (10-minute recipe) for dinner 

    Or keep it simple by just serving whatever ice cream you have in the freezer. It's all about the memories! 

    Well tell me what you think....will ice cream be on your dinner menu?

      We had ice cream TWICE yesterday. I'm counting that as our summer kick-off!
