How To Feed Four Kids Ice Cream For The Price Of One


Let's face it whose toddler ever finishes their ice cream cone? Most of the time they end up having most of the ice cream on their hands and clothes and are a sticky hot mess.

 So the other day I got a free ice cream for spending $100 at the grocery store. I didn't really want to deal with my two toddlers eating a whole ice cream before lunch so I got a small cup and asked for two cones. 

Man why didn't I think of this sooner!! So this week I go back to same store and this time my sister spends $100 and gets a free voucher. Use it today she says. A light bulb went off. I will order I replied. I go up with my voucher. Ask for a small vanilla and four cones on the side. The girl says I can also get sprinkles and I said sure on the side would be great! 

Genius I know! So now I know what you're thinking they all like different flavors. No really they don't!! They all want what eachother have and if I am wrong then get two flavors in a cup and scope out separately on a cone. Why pay for something you know you will be the one to end up eating after all which kid ever really finish their cup of ice cream. They make you go back. Ask for a lid. Drive it all the way home just to see it is now soup and ends up in trash. I am a Mom,I get it!

My girlfriend has a Summer pass and has been asking all Summer to meet up there. I was always hesitant since I work Afternoons and didn't want to rush. With only a week left before school starts I knew if I didn't go now our chance would pass. So a couple of us met up and it was a blast. For non residents it's $10 per adult and $5 for kids 5 years and older for the day, 5 years and under are free, it cost me $15 for two and half hours of fun- you can stay all day if you like but I had to be home by noon. Summer pass is $120 for non residents and I think that will be on my list for next summer. So clean and sand is smooth. Perfect for my age group of kids. Oldest can swim and I went in with little ones. After they played on playground. Lifeguards are there at 10:00 am. Only a couple more days left to enjoy it. If you can be sure to check it out.
