Frozen Treats: Baby Sugars' Sno Balls

(Summer 2013 update: this place is no longer here.)

Today we went to a new snow cone place I have been wanting to try. It is called Snow Balls and is located right off the highway we drive down every day. I ordered raspberry and I loved it. Clifford got cola flavor and Tor got blue raspberry. He usually likes any flavor as long as it is blue. Liefen got peach. They had good flavors, but not a whole lot to choose from. A small snow cone at this stand costs $2.50 and I really think they put too much syrup on the ice (usually I complain about not enough syrup.) And the worst part was Clifford got stung by a bee. Owie!! But they gave him a big chunk of ice to ease the sting and we were able to enjoy our treats away from the bees in the shade. I'll go back there, but next time I will ask for less syrup.



GET ONE: Baby Sugars' Snow Balls, Corner of Hwy 290 and William Cannon Dr., Austin, Texas (look for the tall red bendy man)

Frozen Treats: Sweet Caroline's

Today we went to Sweet Caroline's for our first snow cones of the summer. They were yummy and Clifford said it was the best snow cone he had in his life. For $1.50 you can get a small snow cone and for 50 cents more you can get NERDS or GUMMY BEARS on your snow cone!! It was totally worth the extra money.

C.J picked root beer with Nerds.



I ordered cherry with Nerds and I thought it was super good.
