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
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
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.

Loved to catch up on your life by reading your blog -- your girls are adorable! Thanks for the comments on my blog, I used to love Paula Deen's cooking, but decided I looked better without 2 pounds of butter in every bite, LOL!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful day with many fun memories for you and the girls! Eat a cupcake for me! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGosh your girls are precious! I love being a mom and I can see you do too!

Just stopping by to say hi and visit!! You have a beautiful family!! I'm sure I'll be stopping by here more often!! Thanks for visiting my blog. No I haven't hear anything about the aprons yet but on her blog she mentioned she's only sent e-mails to half the people so far so keep checking your e-mail!!
ReplyDeleteThe cup cakes look good and the paddleboats look like it was a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteI have to say it's always nice to see families do things together. It seems like less and less people make time to play with their children.
I am glad to see that you and your girls have fun together. I have always been told (and I see it in my own kids now) that they grow too fast. Enjoy them as much as you can.
