We love shave ice.  It’s shave not shaved.  The kids love it and so do I.  It’s one of the things they talk about all the time.  It’s absolutely delicious.  They are like snow cones, but the ice is so delicate–it’s really soft.

The above pictures were taken the first time we had it.  Only Sister and Pumpkin really liked it at first (of the children that is–Ben and I loved it from the first bite).  We went Aoki’s.  It was easier because there were no lines and the parking was easy too.

We visited Aoki’s often.  One time, Pumpkin fell asleep on the way.  She slept the entire time we were there and woke up as we were leaving.  She protested quite loudly when she realized where we had been and what she had missed out on. 

It was Sister, though, who loved it the most.  She asked for it every day.  The last week we were there, I tried taking her as often as possible.  Brother ate one flavor only, root beer while Honey had to have vanilla along with other flavors.  Pumpkin didn’t care as long as it was green.  Me?  I had whatever was left over.
