Huckleberry Mountain Challenge

Yes I have a ton of photos to share from our 10 day vacation in Idaho and Utah, but this deserves it's own post so you'll have to wait a bit for the other photos.

After our trip to Mesa Falls we stopped at a small diner in Ashton, Idaho. My family had heard of the 5 minute and 11 second Huckleberry Mountain Ice Cream Challenge. Basically you get six heaping scoops of ice cream topped with mounds of whipped cream, nuts, and huckleberries and you have five minutes and 11 seconds to chow it down. If you do, the $12.99 price tag becomes $0.00!
Well, can you guess, that Ben said he was up to the challenge? Oh, and my dad. It was a friendly competition between the father and son-in-law:)
All smiles in the beginning

Time to start--Dad was in the lead for most of the time.
Crunch time. The bites got bigger.


VICTORY FOR BOTH
(Ben managed to pull ahead in the end)
Way to go on saving $26!

And little Landon kept saying Ben was mean because he was scarfing down the ice cream right in front of him and not sharing. "Save some, daddy. Save some," was his tearful plea. So he got a little bowl of his own.
When he finished he held his bowl up and said, "I win too."--So he and dad took a winners photo holding up their bowls. Too cute, right!?
And what was this little princess doing during the whole thing? Why eating ice and hamming it up for the camera, of course.
