Gavin's adventures in cooking

Gavin has been very creative since we have been back from vacation. He woke up one day and said "Mom, I have been thinking about a great creation! Can I make it?"

Gavin's creating his creation.
One bite size Snickers (could use a Milky Way)
One toothpick
two marachino cherries
Gavin hard at work!

So I gave him the go ahead and he went on with his plan so here is the first adventure!

Vacation

June 21st- Misty and Mandy arrived from Florida.
June 22nd-- We loaded up and headed out for Augusta at 0400. After our normal pit stops we arrived around 830 pm and from then on it was non-stop.
We went to many, many, many dinosaur museums! Camped/fished at the lake for the 4th of July weekend and were not only sunburnt but eaten alive by mosquito's. Took a quick trip to North Dakota to visit my grandparents. It all ended way too soon-- but home now and back to the same old, same old!
The kiddo's outside a diner in Casper. They love the dino's and alligators.

Finally made it to Augusta to spend time with Grandparents!
