A Day at Allaire State Park and the Pine Creek RR

The kids had a great day riding the train at the Pine Creek RR in Allaire State Park. They got to ride in the cupola in the caboose. In addition to the train ride, we walked around the old village and visited the bakery.

Today: Sugar Cookies!

The Five Bakers show off their Sugar Cookies!

The flour was flying! In the last two days, the Five Bakers made fudge, butter and chocolate chip cookies and a few dozen sugar cookies. Outside of the kitchen, they helped make two grave blankets, visited the Cemetery and sang a Christmas song to Mom Mom and Pop Pop as well as Anna Marie's Mom and Dad.

The Christmas Season Has Started!

Our five grandchildren are visiting this weekend. On Friday, we tie-dyed white "T"shirts using red and green dye. On Saturday, we made five pounds of fudge (dark chocolate,  peanut butter, chocolate peanut butter, mint chocolate and strawberry) before heading out to see the Christmas Parade in Ship Bottom. When we got back, we made 10 dozen butter cookies, toll house cookies in milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and mint chocolate. Tomorrow, we'll make sugar cookies before heading out to make grave blankets and a trip to the cemetery.

The kids are having a great time and they even want to go to the cemetery so they can talk to Mom Mom with us.

The kids show off their first batch of cookies.
