My family is full of ice cream lovin' fools (I do not fall in that category - I can take it or leave it, and most of the time I leave it). When Hubby is home all of his dates with the children end in a visit to an ice cream shop, or if we live in Texas a stop at Dairy Queen is required, yes -required. So when a friend told me about this place The Waffle Cone, I KNEW I had to take the kid-o's here. Now it is WAY out in Copperas Cove - but the 15 minute trek is well worth it, even for a non-ice cream lovin' fool like myself. And since we were attending Vacation Bible School in Cove and the theme was "Shake it up Cafe, Where Kids Carry out God's Recipe" it was like God himself was sending me a sign. How could I refuse? So the last day of VBS, I loaded the car with kids and headed to "Waffle Cone" for an ice cream filled LUNCH. Yes, you heard me correctly, I said lunch.
The menu
OK, for lunch I did make them eat spaghetti......
ICE CREAM SPAGHETTI that is!!!
Best spaghetti EVER!
After 'spaghetti' we ordered a "MEGA SPLIT". I wasn't sure what to expect, but I really did not expect this monstrosity!!
5 different flavors, cookie dough, birthday cake, mint chocolate chip, crazy colors and strawberry...each child picked a flavor and then shared the entire thing.
They were so excited and it was KILLING them that I made them take a picture before they dove in!
They were all going strong, I even pitched in to help them for a while, but there came a point when Girl, her friend and Boy 2 threw in the towel and they were done.....
This is the point where 3 of them dropped out.
Down to two.....
And then there was one.....
5 kids, 5 HUGE scoops of ice cream, 2 bananas, hot fudge, caramel, 2 cherries, oh and let's not forget the bowl of spaghetti they started with... DONE!! What a great way to end Vacation Bible School!
We can't wait to take Hubby when he gets back from Afghanistan!!
