Aviator’s Ice Cream Shack, Waterville

*Disclosure: Our family received an ice cream party in exchange for this blog post. All opinions are our own. Honestly, would you say no to that?*

There is a new ice cream shack in town and you need to go check it out!

When Dan and Karen Mullen told me about their new ice cream shack in Waterville, I knew we had to check it out.
There is nothing better than an ice cream on a hot day, and you don’t have to twist my arm to go!

So, when the Aviator’s Ice Cream Shack suggested a family ice cream party, I knew just who to enlist for help.

We loaded the car with our family and my two nieces and headed to the Black Rock Road to find the Aviator’s Ice Cream shack.

The Menu

The Aviator’s Ice Cream Shack serves mostly ice cream, but they do have Jimmie Dogs from Meadowbrook Meat Market on a nicely toasted bun.

Plus, you have the option of having it with both onions and sauerkraut!
We had to try it all!

“The Jimmie dog was delicious with the toasted bun!”

Following lunch, we had the best part – ice cream!

There are so many ways to have ice cream, too from banana splits, smoothies, flurries, milkshakes, sundaes and more!

The kids and I opted for traditional hard-serve ice cream in a home-made waffle cone.

Aviator’s serves Scotsburn ice cream which is a nice treat to the usual Farmer’s ice cream you see most everywhere else. It’s creamy with an extensive list of different flavours!

This was the small size!

“The ice cream is really good, especially with a waffle cone!”
“The ice cream was really big.”

David opted for the Coke float.

“The fact they use real Coke, and not fountain pop, was a real bonus. She even gave me the rest of the can so I could add more whenever I needed it. That was probably the best restaurant Coke float I’d ever had!”

You can tell by the happy smiles that the kids loved the ice cream!

Ambiance

There is no place to sit inside at the Aviator’s Ice Cream Shack but there are several picnic tables and chairs on the lawn. You can sit in a nice shady spot and enjoy your food.

Because Aviator’s is beside the owner’s house, you can visit with all the animals at their hobby farm!

There are chickens.

There are horses.

And there is a great dog named Dozer.

“It has so many animals: horses, chickens and a dog!”

Not to mention a tire swing, too!

There is a washroom on site, too.

Location and Hours

Aviator’s Ice Cream Shack is located at 2124 Black Rock Road. This is between Brooklyn Street and Route 1.
MAP

They are open 11:30am – 9pm Monday to Saturday and 1pm – 9pm on Sunday.

Payment is by cash or credit card only. No debit.

While you are in Black Rock, check out the community trails.

Then, head to the Aviator’s Ice Cream Shack for a treat!

Make sure you add the Aviator’s Ice Cream Shack to your bucket list this summer. Better make it an ice cream bucket sized list!

Unique Watch

Jord watches are hand-crafted wood timepieces that tell a story. They are splash resistant, comfortable and stylish!

The value of a watch is not in being able to tell how much time has passed, but in being aware of the need to make that time count. Moments are bigger than minutes and your watch should tell more than time.

When I had the opportunity to review a JORD Watch, I knew just the person to do it.

I asked my dad, retired business professor (who is soon coming out of retirement to go back to teach!) if he would mind testing it out.

He has an active life that involves both casual and formal activities, so he’d be able to get to test the JORD watch in many different situations.

Our first task was to go online and try to decide which watch to order. There were so many to choose from for both men and women!
Here’s the one he decided upon. It’s in the FIELDCREST series with Zebrawood and Maple wood.

We measured his wrist according to their handy-dandy chart.

Here’s what he has to say:

I am a woodworker and appreciate fine wood and craftsmanship. The JORD watch caught my attention as a fine piece of artistry.

I have worn my JORD watch in many settings: attending and presiding over formal business meetings; family outings; sporting events; playing with grandchildren, and on holiday.

In all settings the watch fits in and I never feel over or under dressed.

The time is readily accessible and the strap and case are durable and it is always feels comfortable.

Despite its “exotic” and crafted look, I have never worried about it getting damaged.

Others have noticed it without me making a display of it and the comments are always about how interesting it is and fashionable. A number of people have asked how they can get one.

Overall

The JORD watch was a huge hit!

Men are always so difficult to buy for, so the JORD watch is the perfect choice for a unique and creative gift!
Or, these women watches are a stylish conversation piece for any woman in your life (including yourself!)
