My "baby" turned 5 years old yesterday (head over to our family blog for my reflection on the past 5 years). For his birthday he got to choose the place that we’d eat lunch at after he got out of school. He chose Winstead’s Diner, after hearing a friend of his talk about the gigantic milkshake he had there on his birthday. When his friend said gigantic, he wasn’t kidding. The milkshake arrived in a great big "vase" for the glass. Topped with a generous amount of whipped cream and cherries, our strawberry shake was by far the biggest I have ever seen. We definitely shouldn’t have eaten lunch before if we wanted to make any kind of dent in this milkshake. Wide eyed and eager, we gave it our best try, but by about 1/4 of the way through the shake, and belly’s about to bust, we couldn’t make it any further. We gave it a great try, but just had to be defeated. Next time, I think we’ll invite a few more people to tackle the Skyscraper Milkshake with us!

That’s so much fun!
How incredible and what an unforgettable 5th birthday memory!
Wonderful.
I SO want that shake!!
I’ll bet your kids had a great time with that milkshake.
That milkshake is HUGE. There is a diner in Chicago called the Zephyr which is really well-known for it’s ice cream. They have something called the Frankenstein which has a crazy amount of scoops of ice cream in it. I think like 18 scoops or something like that. And all the sundae toppings get piled on as well.
There was a Swanson’s Ice Cream parlor here in town where we gaggle of girls would head down for Bdays or other celebrations and order up The Earthquake.
It was literally 5 lbs. of icecream topped with bananas, nuts, whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate syrup, fruit syrup, butterscotch…and other things.
We would eat ourselves silly…and sick. Our tummies felt they had been attacked by an Earthquake after our attempts to eating the entire thing.
Hi,
thanks for the comment on my blog! My kids would LOVE to get that milkshake! My ‘baby’ will be SEVEN on Valentine’s Day!
Time flies,
Sherry
oh my golly, that giant!!! But I’d love to try 😀
Both your children are so adorable!
We grew up with an ice cream parlor that would make a Lollapalooza Sundae that had something like 20 scoops of ice cream and tons of toppings on it. If you ate it all yourself you got listed on their ‘Wall of Fame’. I think they had a junior version too.
Your kids look so cute with that giant glass between them!
Wow! That’s a lot of milkshake!
Cute pic, btw! 🙂
Hi Kristen,
My oldest turned 5 years old December 14th and I truly know all the love and joy and pains and trials that come with being a stay at home mom. Congrats on reaching this milestone!

You are one cool mom… and this has also inspired me to make milkshakes in a vase… excellent.
