She never bought into the idea. We probably weren't serious enough.
Though schlepping shaved ice is no longer my dream, it seems to be one of my husbands.
Fast forward to February 2009.
We were in Arizona.
We went to a shaved ice place Ross has been visiting since he was a kid.
While waiting at the drive through, that husband of mine got an idea - that he could sell shaved ice in Utah. Real shaved ice. Hawaiian style shaved ice. And be a huge success.
We got our treats. We spied. We wrote down the name of their ice shaving machine.
From that point on in the trip, and the subsequent months after. Even through the birth of the Squirt, Ross has had only one thing on his mind.
Shaved ice.
And his bright blue concessions trailer.
And getting ready to open for business.
Welcome, Shavy Jones!
(thanks to JJ and Makayla for the awesome artwork)
We aren't quite open for business, but should be in the next week or so.
If you are very local, we'll be on the patio of Mountain Mikes Pizza off of 10400th South between Bangerter and 4000 West.
If you aren't local, come visit us anyway.
Initial hours of operation will be Noon - 9:00 pm Friday's and Saturday's. If business picks up, we'll add an extra day or two.
Want more information? Want a summer job? Comment or e-mail me.

I'm so sick probably from stress but in my head it's swine flu - we sold our house and have to be out in three weeks - we're not sure where we are moving - but this sounds so wonderfully delicious I want to forget it all and come and find that trailer!!!
I'm waiting Shavy Jones.
We want a picture of the PLACE!!!
Wow!!! Awesome. Who is going to run the booth?
Meranda's friend was telling her about some great shaved ice with ice cream in Hawaii - MK said - Hey - My Cousin is starting a business like that - just like in Field of Dreams - "Build it and they will come"!!!!!
