Summertime Fun


    You won't find a better place to spend a hot summer day than the Summerland Fun Park! It's located right outside of St.Cloud on Highway 23.




     You can see the waterslide from the highway. It looks pretty inviting when those temps are climbing and you could be too--climbing up for a quick trip down the slide to cool off.



     There are also two fun mini golf courses. These are great for all ages. Our little four year old granddaughter had a blast hitting the ball.


     The go carts are always a big hit with kids and adults!


     Our grandson plays summer baseball so he is always looking forward to using the batting cages when we come here.

    Summerland also has bumper boats, an inflatable bouncy house, a picnic shelter and a snack bar which is air conditioned and sells many treats including soft serve ice cream. You can also bring in your own cooler (no alcohol) which is so nice! 

     

     They are open 7 days a week unless it is rainy and stormy. You can always call if you are in doubt...320-251-0940



     Groupon also has Summerland deals so check there before you go. It's a great family place to enjoy a hot summer day. Go check it out!

What a Way to Start the Day!



Looking for a great place to have breakfast or lunch? Look no further than Waffle It--a restaurant that specializes in waffles.


With 17 waffle makers they can serve up a crowd in no time. There were 6 of us that came in and we were all eating our waffles in a short amount of time. (Sorry for the bad cell photo.) 

We tried 3 of the Sweet Waffles, one Savory and one off the Kids' Menu. (Someone in our group had a side of bacon. It was the one thing that we felt could be improved on.)

 This is the Strawberries and Cream.

 This is my pecan waffle with a side order of strawberries. Yum!!

Caramel apple.
We each had whipped cream on ours but you can opt out of that.

Here is the chicken waffle. Even the chicken has waffle marks! It comes with gravy on the side.

For the little ones...a smiling waffle plate.

Lots of fun syrups to choose from. Hubby tried them all.

 The littlest one in our group really enjoyed the strawberry syrup--especially when she could squeeze out her own!

Since this is a breakfast restaurant the hours of operation are from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tues. through Sunday. They are located at 2018 Veterans Drive and their phone number is 320-774-3665.

Waffle It also does catering and can help with fundraising events.

Our family all agreed--it's a great way to start the day!!
