How Do You Enjoy Your Summer Nights?

Schools out for summer! Now we get to have summer nights with the family last a little bit longer. Stay up a little bit later and have a bit more fun! One of our favorite summer night activities includes one of our favorite desserts at the lake around the corner from us.

Our lake and beach is like a special little getaway for us. Soon as you get there it feels like you are on vacation. There are few ways to make that experience even better. For our family, that means a tasty cool treat!

A&W Root Beer Floats are so tasty and the best thing about a root beer float (other than how yummy they are) is how easy it is to prepare.

Like many of the awesome meals in our house, our journey starts at Meijer. This is where we go shopping for just about everything, including our supplies for our root beer float. Meijer has every option available for A&W, also in cans, 16oz’ers and 2 liters. Now Miejer has a buy 1 A&W 2-liter, get 1 free using a mPerks digital coupon

 

Our lake is a short walk from the house, so we loaded up the cart with our root beer float supplies and we were off for a peaceful and delicious evening.

 

Once we get settled in, the kids go jump in the lake and burn off their remaining energy from the day. While they are doing that, we get our own A&W Root Beer Float put together. Scoop out some vanilla ice cream into a cup and then pour in the fizzy goodness of A&W and you are almost all set. Then you have a masterpiece worthy of being topped with a cherry!

After we enjoyed our floats in peace and quiet, we called the kids in from the lake. I have never seen Kora and Logan run so fast, I think Kora was actually running on top of the water to get to her root beer float.

There is just something about mixing root beer with vanilla ice cream, it is magical. I know for a fact that our kids agree. It was amazing how quickly they enjoyed theirs. A&W Root Beer Floats are able to take an already magical and relaxing evening and make it even better!

We love our traditional A&W Root Beer Float, what do you do or add to your A&W Float to make it special?

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. The blog got its name because we have two kids born a year apart and my husband, Dave, and I always joked that "the kids were too wired and we were too tired!" :)

Fast forward a bit—now the kids are off to college (how did that happened so fast!) and since 2009, I’ve been blogging through the chaos, coffee in hand, finding the best in family, travel, and tech—because honestly, who has time for bad gadgets and boring trips?

So, whether you're searching for family travel inspiration, tech gadgets, or tips to enhance family life, you're in the right place because the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here!
