Fort Fischer Aquarium

I love this aquarium, I love that we have been there a few times and so the kids know what to look for.

This day was perfect because it was not too warm and there were not too many people there. I love that the beach is just seconds away. We always pack a lunch and eat at the picnic tables.



The kids love that they can pet the sting rays. I enjoy how many workers are walking around and are willing to answer any of our questions.

5 Question Friday

1. What is your favorite Easter tradition? Watching the passion of the Christ, I do not know why but I love how real it makes it to me.

2. Are you a "shower" or a "long, hot bath" kind of person? I love a long bath but really do not fit in most tubs, so if I find one that does I do not want to get out.

3. Can you parallel park and if so when is the last time you did it? I cannot and never have. For some reason I did not have to when taking my driver’s license or I would have failed.

4. What is your favorite Easter candy? Oh why, can I not think of the name? little purple package of chocolate covered in a coating like m&m.

5. Easter: do you go all out with the Easter Bunny or focus on the religious part of the holiday? Mostly the religious part, I let the kids say hi to the Easter bunny but really he could come in June and we would not care.

Cake Pops

Have you ever heard of The Cake Doctor cook book? I love this book but have not used it in a while. Today I pulled out the book to make cake pops. These are so simple to make.
1 yellow cake mix
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 stick butter
¼ cup honey
2 large eggs
Colored sprinkles
1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Mix all ingredients, it will seem rather thick but that is normal. Mix one minute and scrape down sides and mix another minute
3. Pour sprinkles into bowl.
4. Make round 2 inch balls (do you really need to say round and ball in the same sentence, I used the medium pampered chef scoop)
5. Roll each ball in sprinkles
6. Bake for 8-12 minutes
7. As soon as they are pulled from the oven, push a craft stick right into the middle and let cool off.
These are great for kids. It is days like this that I wish I could have made a cute little bouquet of flowers. In my case I am taking them to church tomorrow. I am thinking of making these cake pops with a chocolate or lemon cake mix
