Happy Birthday Sunny!
4 years ago today my world got turned upside down. Today was a fun filled family day. I let Kaylee and Mantha skip school because we were originally going to goto the zoo. But, it rained half the morning so we went bowling instead.
We bowled 1 game. It actually took us an hour. According to SparkPeople.com 1 hour of bowling burned 140 calories. Not bad for just having fun, right? Ken beat me, but not by much. The girls had a blast
I love family fun time. We on on adventures so seldom. I'm glad that Sunny is getting older so we can do more. {But I'm not going to lie, I broke down last nite thinking about the fact that I have no more babies in my house...}
After bowling we went to Ken's work to eat. The people there love the girls. I ordered the salmon {like I always do} this time I ordered the Salmon Florentine. It's supposed to come with Spinach Artichoke dip on top but I substituted the dip for some steamed spinach. It was the best salmon I've had. The GM cooked it for me himself because he wanted to make sure it was right. {I adore that they care enough to do that for me} We also ordered the gaucamole so I could try it. It was delicious!
[Tip: Avacado's are very healthy. Loaded with fat though. They are not good if you are dealing with gallbladder issues. But, if you are just wanting a healthy appetizer then the gaucamole is a great option. BUT, chips are a diet buster! Order it with a side of raw zucchini rounds. They still give you that chippy crunch without the fat and calories]
The people at Ken's work really did an outstanding job of waiting on us. It probably helped that I brought them 1 1/2 dozen cupcakes. They really made Sunny feel special. Balloons, a gift {I told you, the GM is awesome!} and exceptional service {thanks Kevin!}
We came back to the house, called Gramma and Sirr on Skype and video chatted while we did cake. I made a watermelon cake since we were having cupcakes at dinner. This was the simplest cake EVER! Ken cut 2 rounds of watermelon and I topped it with Cool Whip and skewered fruits. Sunny loved it. Kaylee wanted to do something special for Sunny so she was the one that designed the cake "topper" (there was no space on the top so it got put on the side.) She made it out of homemade modeling chocolate. {Melt 1 pound of chocolate and stir in 0.25 cup of corn syrup or maple sugar, let it come to room temp and then use it like play-doh}
