Happy 4th of July Weekend!!!

Had a fun day with three of our grandchildren at
the "Freedom On The Waterfront"
in Mount Dora down at the lighthouse.
 
We battled the rain on and off for four hours
before they finally got a break to start the
fireworks. While we waited I took the little
one's to all the events for the kiddies, the park
across the street, fed the ducks and birds, ate,
and played. Poor Jack my hubby, sat at our
table under an awning thank goodness to
keep our perfect view of the fireworks. Bless
his heart! It's hard to get him around in a
wheel chair in the crowds anyway.
 
I think the kids loved the face painting most of all
and the tatoos!
 
 
Blaze worried his dragon face will run with the rain
coming down again......grrrrr!

 
Blaze with his dragon face....roaring away!

 
Lil Ryan and Parker (my son's son and my daughters
son) with their faces painted in I'm not sure what.....
but they thought it was way cool!

 
Parker showing it off!

 
Lil Ryan showing his off.....dispite the look on his
face, he really did have fun!

 
This is what we battled all afternoon and evening!
 
 
 
 
Like a ninny I didn't take any of the fire works going
off, but here are a couple from the Orlando Sentinal
near us. Ours were beautiful too that were shot off
out in the lake from a barge. And the ones going off at
the end of the lighthouse at the same time were awsome!
They did like a grand finale through the whole show!
 
God Bless Our America!
 
Hope you're having a glorious weekend!
It started out sunny and hot hot, and now
it's pouring out again!
 
TaTa Till Later!

Wishing You All A Very Happy Easter!

 I had two of my grandson's all this last week as
they were on their Spring break. It was a great
week and we had alot of fun! Well it's coming to
an end today....so sad, but today we will celebrate
Easter all together as their sister Emma and Mom
are here now too! Yesterday afternoon we put on
our baking hats for one more fun project and
memory together, and made our first ever cake pops!

 
Parker and I ended up finishing them because our
Aiden fell asleep while we were waiting for the
cake balls to freeze so we could decorate them.
 
 
Not sure we got the Easter thing going on here by
looking at them if you didn't know it first lol!
Love how those monster things on Parker's shirt look
like they are going to dive right in our cake pops hehe!


These were supposed to look like Easter eggs,
but the cake and frosting mixture was so soft that
it made it really hard to shape them into egg shapes.
It was easier just to make them into ball shapes,
so that is what we did. We need major practice
decorating with the frosting too lol! So NOT what
we were trying to do..................


This was what we were originally aiming for....
didn't happen! Oh well, we had fun and the best
part was, that no matter what they looked like
on the outside....

they were OMGosh....simply delish!

Maybe with some practice, next year
we might could get them to look like Easter eggs?
Well, we got a whole year to work on it hehe!
The boys were really proud of their creations, and
I think our team effort wasn't so bad, at least they
were Springy lookin sorta kinda! :) Happy kids is
what it's about anyhow! So gram was happy too!

 
Shortly after we finished the cake pops, Emma and
mommy arrived. It was time to color our eggs. We
tried a new type of coloring this year. We all
loved it, and the eggs looked so cool! The kit had these
plastic bags that you put an egg into, a few drops of
dye, then swirl it around and wala....no cups, water,
vinegar, or mess! They were marbley looking and pretty!


Pretty snazzy I thought...and the kids thought this was
way better than the old way of dying eggs. Happy kids
again! Yea! Now it's off to bed so the bunny will come!


Wishing you all a very Happy and Lovely Easter!
 
Love, Hugs, and Blessings!
 
XOXO
