Our trip to the children's garden

Usually the garden is a bit browner, but the cold and wet summer has left the garden remarkably beautiful!! Bee loved the sheep, Frankie loved running around and the lily pads, and Cho Cho had total sensory overload. Of course, the children's garden is near the MSU Dairy Store so we had delicious treats there. Frankie picked vanilla, Bee picked Blue Moon, and I picked Coconut Chocolate Almond. Cho Cho picked all three as she sampled from the three of us! Poor Scotty was at work!!! So close and yet so far away!

We baked a bunch of cookies today because Bee and Frankie want to have a "lemonade and cookie" stand. The girls made choco chip and sugar cookies with stars. They did a really nice job measuring the ingrediants, cracking eggs, mixing, tasting batter. We'll try to catch rush hour down Collingwood. Im a bit nervous about it all. What if no one stops? What if someone finds a dog hair in the cookie. ha ha Just kidding on that one (I hope!). I think we will charge 10 cents because I cant imagine charging more. Seriously, what do people charge these days in lemonade stands? I saw one in NYC where kids were charging a dollar. That seemed a little stiff even by NYC standards.
