New Braids

Last night Mrs. Wood came over for our quilting club.  While we were playing outside, Momma and Mrs Wood were learning how to appliqué.

When we came inside and Mrs. Wood was showing Momma how to do new hair styles so she could do it on me.  Here are two Momma learned.

The one on the left is a four strand box braid. The one on the right is a rope braid I have been wanting to learn. Thank you Mrs. Wood, they are very pretty!

 

Baking with Auntie Kristi

When we were with Auntie Kristi, I helped her bake several things. I helped her make a dessert and macaroni noodles.

The dessert was kind of hard because it had a super thin layer of crust. Then we put some whipped topping/ cream cheese mixture on and we were trying not to break the crust. We put some chocolate pudding on and then put it in the refrigerator. Then we added cream whip.

I did not taste this one, but it looked good!

The macaroni and cheese was easy! We put some uncooked noodles in a casserole dish. Then some milk and butter and salt and pepper. Then we added cheddar cheese to the top. We mixed it a little bit. Then we put it in the oven and baked it a long time! I think it was an hour and a half.

It tasted very good, but it was gone before everyone was full. We made some regular noodles too and they were gone before everyone was full. So Uncle Dave made some Mexican grilled cheese (I forgot their name).

I had fun!

Winter Fun

Yesterday we went to Lake Ann and went tubing. I went down several times. It was a long way to get up the hill, and it was steep!

Megan would have gone if she had not got so cold so fast.

It was different from the Kalihari, because you went straight, not turns and twists. The tubes are heavy at Lake Ann and not so heavy at the water park.  I did not have a favorite type of tubing. Daddy prefers the heat. I want to do both again!

 

Wild Wildebeast

There are two slides.  One is called Wild Wildebeest, and the other is Elephant’s Trunk.  I do not know which one this is. But they are very similar. One has an opening on the top. The other has an opening in the middle. One is green and the other is blue.

This was one of my favorite rides. I like the blue one better because it had a great big opening at the beginning and the opening was shorter than the green one.  It was fun to race. I liked it because it was like a great big HUGE slide.  I also liked that after I rode it, I could do it again and again and again without waiting in line very long.

I thought you might like to see what the rides looked like from the bottom.  The blue one and the green one are the racing rides. The yellow one is Victoria Falls which you ride down on a big tube with four people. The red one is like a great big slide. There is a purple one like it and you go down them like a mummy (with your hands crossed over your chest).

Adrian rode down the Victoria Falls one! Momma blogged about it here!  Momma raced Daddy down the tube slides. Daddy won, I think.  We didn’t take pictures because we did not have the camera and we were watching Megan at the bottom.
