Sunny days...

We went to Rob's company picnic on Saturday. There were paddleboats out on a little lake!

There was a slide there TALLER than the kinds they make nowadays...the sort that was on the playground when I was a kid, each step says "American" and it's super-slippery and fast!

Scrumptious!

We made more cupcakes with pureed strawberry icing. I wished Sprinkles were a bit closer...I'd love to go check it out, but their cupcakes are $3.25 each! I thought these Robot cupcakes were awesome and fun!

Homemade cupcakes:

2 cups flour
2 t. baking powder
1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter (1 stick, melted, and if you've got the unsalted kind, add 1/4 t. salt)

2 eggs
1 t. vanilla extract

3/4 cups milk

Mix ingredients together (you know, dry stuff first together, then add wet) and scoop into 12 muffin cups (lined with cupcake liners, if you wish) & bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.

That's Thumper eating clovers...funny thing is he DOESN'T eat the blossoms (Kim, tell that to Max), I'm thinking it's because his lil mouth is too small, but maybe he really doesn't like them! He nibbles up the stems. Twinkle (is the gray bunny) still VERY shy, runs away when we approach the hutch. We got them almost 3 weeks ago. They love running around the yard FREE, but I'm scared they'll slip through the fence (it happened once already) and get hurt since we're close to the road, or get lost.
