Baking, Biking and Gardening

Kate & Will really like the tv show "Kids Baking Championships." They love seeing kids their age make yummy masterpieces.  So Kate decided one day to research and find a recipe for the best vanilla cupcake EVER!  She found it, generated the ingredients list for me and got to work! 

She did a fabulous job!  She didn't like the part about cleaning up after you are done.  I had to remind her that we don't have fairies that come and take care of the clean up :)


We LOVE to go on family bike rides on the different trails in Central Iowa.  On one of our rides, we came across a really yummy ice cream shop.  The mint chocolate chip (Will's Favorite) was amazing.  

Kate loved her oreo concrete too.  
We also had another little garden in our backyard.  We grew tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, mint, chives and beets. 


This was our first year doing vining cucumbers.  They were much thinner and crisper than a regular cucumber. AND we had a lot of them! 

So many that we attempted to make some pickles.  Well......  I think I will stick with the yummy pickles from the grocery store from now on.  These were a lot of work, and not very good :(
