Great Wolf Lodge

On Monday and Tuesday (yes its random) we all went to the Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, Washington. We all had a blast! The Howlin' Toranado was as scary as people said it was.:) We stayed in the Kids Cabin -though it could have been a little bit bigger- we were all comfortable. The First day we arrived around 1:30pm ande checked into our room, after we checked in we went to the water park. THE WATER PARK IS HUGE! The biggest thing was the giant big bucket on top of the structure thingy.

We played in the water park till around 9:00pm, poor Marky was scared of being in the water, I would take him in and then he would cry for a little and would be okay soon, he loved sitting on the floating snake, this happened everytime we would get back into the water- boy were we tired after that day!

The next morning we ate cereal in the room and then made our way to the water park around 10:00am. We played until around noon and had Pizza Hut for lunch...yum! We went back to playing in the water-lots of time was spent in the wave pool (mom's favorite) And about 10 times of going on the Howlin' Tornado. The highlight of the whole trip was getting all of us kids and dad to stay on the floaty snake- it doesnt look to hard to stay on but ask Dad, even he had a hard time-especially as we would all try to push him off. lol. After cleaning up and showering, we left the Lodge and headed back home! Stopping at McDonalds on the way.

My First Pie!

Today I was really bored and I decided to make a pie! The pie turned out really god if i do say so myself. mom says that i have to make it for thanksgiving now...I got a crust recipe off of all recipes.com along with a recipe for the ingredients. I used mixed Marionberries and boysenberries instead of blackberries and the crust was super easy to make. mom was trying to get me to use a pre made one so i wouldnt mess it up but it turned out great! im so proud of myself. lol. Heres the recipe so you can try it:

Crust (doubled ):

1 egg

6 tablespoons of sugar

2 pinches of salt

3 cups of flour

1 cup of butter

Directions:

mix egg and sugar in small bowl. In separate bowl combine salt and flour. soften butter until slightly melted and put into bowl with salt and flour. add in egg mixture. knead dough into 2 smooth balls and put in refridgerator for 15 min.

heat the oven to 450 degrees F

Filling:

4 cups of berries (thawed)

3 tablespoons of flour

1 cup of sugar

1 tablespoon of lemon juice (optional)

Directions:

after dough is ready, grease a 9 inch pie pan. Roll one of the dough balls to about 1/8 the of an inch and line the bottom of the pan.

Mix all of your ingredients for the filling in a bowl and then spoon into the pie crust.

take the other ball of dough and roll the same as the bottom crust and lay ontop of the pie. cut slits throughout the top.

Bake the pie for 15 minutes then reduce the heat to 350 untill golden brown (should take around 10 minutes) then cool and enjoy!

Shirts!

K. So for Girl's Camp, Tenley, Mandy and I made Disney Princess shirts because the camp theme was Princess Academy. Tenley was

Princess Belle, Mandy was Princess

Aurora, and I was Princess Ariel

(chosen for their hair color). First we went to Michaels and got shirts and later went to my house to tie die (thanks to mandy's tie dye kit) then decorated at Tenley's house and my house. On the front was the title of the movie the princess was in, on the back was their name and an item that represented them, I did the items and writing. On Tenley's shirt we drew (traced. lol) a rose, Mandy's was a magic wand and mine as you can tell in the picture was a sea shell and triton. I took the pictures of tenley's and mandy's before mine was finished. :( Camp was so much fun and 4th year pictures and camp pics will be coming soon!
