Ice Cream Social

We had so much fun at our annual ice cream social! Sharlotte & Lisa made homemade Belgium waffles. We had vanilla and chocolate chip ice cream, chocolate and rainbow sprinkles, fruit, peanuts, warm chocolate syrup and of course whipped cream. The sundaes were DELICIOUS! I didn't get any pictures of the sundaes since I was too busy scooping ice cream but I did got lots of pictures of the residents.

We had a full house!
