For the love of flip-flops and bro tanks, kids can\u2019t even dress for the weather without getting busted for Dress Code Violation!<\/p>\n<p>So since schools have decided to restart instruction before the last unofficial weekend of summer, I like to try to make it up to my kids that they got a raw deal somewhere down the line.<\/p>\n<p>In the name of trying to keep the last gasps of summer alive I like to indulge them after school with a cool treat.

They have given us <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hashtag\/iceflights\">Ice Flights<\/a> so we don\u2019t have to choose! We can have them all! And they don\u2019t gouge you on the price to do it \u2013 just $4.19 to have 4 perfect sized helpings of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ritasice.com\/\">Rita\u2019s delicious Italian ice<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Schools that go back to instruction before Labor Day could really take a page out of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ritasice.com\/\">Rita\u2019s Italian ice<\/a>: give the people what they want!
