🍧Fun fact: One of the first words Little Miss said was “ice” way before we had any idea we would be taking over Dados.

🙌God has been so faithful to us time and time again, and looking back, it feels like such a sweet little foreshadowing from Him.

❄️These days, she still loves getting her ice, but more than that, she loves getting to be with momma and dada all the time.

This business is for Him and through Him! No way we could do it alone. Tonight we are sitting in gratitude and praising God for His faithfulness. 🧡

📣 Y’all asked for it… and we listened! 🍧

One of the biggest requests we’ve gotten lately is for Dado’s to have a regular spot where you always know where to find us.

So starting in July, we’re going to work on adding a couple of consistent weekly pop-up days! 🎉

In the meantime, we’re still balancing public pop-ups with all of our private bookings and events.

🟧 So don’t forget to keep an eye on our page each week to see where the orange trailer will pop up next! 👀🍧

You never know… we might just be showing up in your town. 🤷‍♀️

Thank y’all for supporting this little family business. We truly have the best customers around. 🧡

🇺🇸 We need your opinion, East Texas!

As we look ahead to July and August, we’re considering doing a regular weekly pop-up at the same location, on the same day, at the same time each week.

Would that be something you’d actually come to?

And more importantly…

📍 Where should we do it?

Quitman? Emory? Mineola? Somewhere else?

Drop your thoughts below—we want to hear from the people! 👇

☀️ It’s a beautiful day to be serving at Valley Church in Lindale for their VBS Family Night! 🍧

One of our favorite things about this business is getting to partner with organizations that truly care about their community. ❤️

At Dado’s, we’re about more than just shave ice. We’re about bringing people together, creating memories, and being part of the moments that make small-town life so special.

Tonight is all about family, fun, community, and making memories that last long after the snow cone melts. 😎🍧

A huge shoutout to Valley Church for investing in kids and families and creating opportunities for people to connect.

Now let’s make some memories and serve up some shave ice! 🎉🍧

📣 SCHEDULE UPDATE! 🍧

After being booked for 12 straight days 🤪, we finally found ourselves with a little unexpected downtime today!

So we’re taking the day off to catch our breath, spend some time as a family, and get ready for another busy weekend ahead. 😅

Seriously though… THANK YOU.

The support this community has shown us since taking over Dado’s has been incredible. Every shave ice purchased, every post shared, every recommendation to a friend, and every event booking means more to our family than you know. ❤️

Here’s where you can find us this weekend:

🎉 Friday
📍 Valley Church Family Night in Lindale
⏰ 6–9 PM

🍧 Saturday
📍 Jim Hogg Park in Quitman
⏰ 11 AM–3 PM

🤠 Then we’re loading up and heading to the…
📍 Grand Saline Rodeo
⏰ 5 PM until the rodeo wraps up

If you haven’t tried a Frostade yet, this weekend might be the perfect excuse. 👀🍋❄️

Thank y’all for keeping us busy, supporting local, and allowing us to do what we love.

We’ll see y’all this weekend! 🍧🧡

We had an absolute blast serving at the Rains Volleyball Camp this week! 🏐🍧

The players brought the energy, the coaches brought the heat, and Little Miss Haven was completely locked in watching all the volleyball action. ❤️

Fun fact about Dado’s: both of us played volleyball through college, so spending a couple days around the gym definitely had us feeling a little nostalgic… and maybe a little tempted to dust off the knee pads. 😅

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by for a shave ice, a Frostade, or just to say hello. We love being part of these community events and getting to serve such awesome families.

Now the real question is…

🏐 What’s the oldest age you’re allowed to sign up for volleyball camp? Asking for a couple of former players. 😂🍧
