scoops

Thanks to the DC Scoop it was all smiles after we worked our way through a little bit of DC traffic to the new Union Market.  There were ice cream trucks set up all around with a contest to win the DC Golden Scoop.  The samples were awesome with a ticket to vote for your favorite.  Mine was a tie between the honey graham cracker ice cream and pumpkin pie custard - can you tell I like some spice in my cream?  The various exotic flavors, like ginger lime and salted watermelon, sometimes can't compete with a really good chocolate, and there were a bunch of those.  The highlight though came when Aiden was selected as lucky number 7 to compete in the kid's ice cream eating contest for 8 and unders.  A big 8 year old won, but Aiden sure did hold his own as you will see in the video below.  I know I'm his mom, but I think he won Most Enthusiastic ;)   He was pretty excited to keep his shirt, with ice cream dribbles and all.
