ranger station squirrel




on sunday T & I went hiking on a nearby trail. P had too much

homework so we went here until a weekend she can go with to try out a new trail i was looking at. So, we stopped at the ranger station to buy a trail map for next trail. saw this squirrel on a trash can. he had a peanut butter nature valley granola bar wrapper. he was so happy to get the peanut butter inside the wrapper. when i stepped to close; he ran away with the wrapper. lol! Then when our entertainment was out of sight, we went for our hike up the hill behind the ranger station.

cookies




made peanut butter cookies over the weekend. used a recipe that p likes to make. they turn out thinner than the traditional kind, but are softer too. when it came time to bake them... she set the oven wrong! we found out what happens when you broil cookies at 500 degrees! lol, after that little mishap the rest all came out wonderful. good thing it was only the first test batch, so only a few were lost.
