Nothing says summer like ice cream... and friends

Post IPNC we had the pleasure of our Atlanta friends Kristie and Charles... those southern folks know how to party... If you haven't made custard based hand cranked ice cream really it's totally worth the effort... had to share the photos from a lovely summer evening with friends..
