Took the kids for the gaming fun. We got enough tickets overall to turn in 40 tickets each for a free and delicious soft serve icecream.

I found 2 different hairs in my food (neither of them were mine) very upsetting. I did let the manager know and she offered to recook my food. I wish they would wear hairnets because it is very unappetizing to find hair in the food. I do enjoy their food and icecream but standards need to be higher.
