Missouri Life Magazine has some great ideas for day trips and staycations. Bring the ingredients along and make on a camping trip (as long as you have ice along), a hot Summer day as a kid activity, or even at a Family Reunion or outside BBQ. You can set out the ingredients and each person can assemble and shake their own.
