Grant park 2010

Grant Park has had fun activities for the kids to do this summer.  They made necklaces, decorated zipped bags and masks and did decorations on canvas boards.  They also had a tie-die day that I ended up doing.  They also have a fun playground the kids like to play on.  We have liked going to Grant park this summer!!

Alex's mohawk

Before school ended last year he wanted a mohawk.  We said he could have one for a week and here it is.  It is too bad he has a mom who cant cut a straight line.  He was happy to cut it off after the week was up.

Sabra's Cakes

I have had the opportunity to make some really fun cakes in the last couple of months.  The sunflower cake in the top left was a cake I took to Relief Society for a pot luck dinner.  Hardly any of it was eaten because they thought it was there for decoration.  Unfortunately, I had to take it home and we got to eat it ourselves. 

The puzzle cake I made for a family in our ward who's son had just passed away.  He was 7 and had health issues but his death came as a surprise.  I asked our RS president if there was anyone in the ward I could make a cake for and she suggested this family. 

I made a Curious George cupcake cake for my friend Ellen's daughter's birthday.  She loves Curious George and so I tried to put one together for her.  It didnt come together as well as I had hoped but everyone loved it and the cupcakes were delish.

Our ward had a picnic at the park and had a dessert contest.  I made this swimming pool cake to try and win.  I didnt win but they had several other games and I tied for first place in the bubblegum blowing contest.

I really enjoyed making these cakes and hope to be able to make lots more in the future.
