We gave that bad boy a shot our first year. I tried surprising my family with it, but I had a few challenges along the way.
The surprise would be let's go for an ice cream..."okay dad that sounds great" then "wait i'm going to order something we'll all like" cue: bells whistles...alarms...giant amazing sundae arrives...
First problem...We ate a Cape May just before going there no one was really ready for ice cream.
luckily they're ice cream hogs..I convinced them.
Well then I didn't realize they had walk up service...So when I suggested, let's go inside for sundaes... everyone was...like.."no come on we don't want to go sit down..let's just get a cone at the window.."
Finally through gritted teeth I had to confess my ulitmate plan of surprising everyone with a bad a$$ sundae named the kitchen sink. Oh well we all ended up with smiles on our faces...and about 5lbs heavier..
