Ah, April Fools. Those who know me get that I am not into the whole prank thing. It always seems so mean spririted to do things like unscrew salt shaker tops or replace your sugar with salt. But to have a little fun with the day, do something that makes things different, now that I can do! So the girls started their day with a hamburger, fries, ketchup, and a milkshake.
Guess what they really ate? The hamburger is just 3 small pancakes, one with cocoa powder added to make it brown. The fries are little strips of pancakes dyed yellow and piped through a baggie. The ketchup was a little bit of pureed frozen raspberries that I strained to remove the seeds. And the milkshakes were their usual instant breakfast mix (regular for Ashley, with mint extract and vanilla syrup in Kayla’s to taste like an Andes candy).
Following breakfast, Ashley had a playdate with her best friend. Her mom mentioned that they were going to the RecPlex in Kenosha, which has a teeny indoor waterpark. She invited us to meet them there. So we did! We ate an early lunch and headed across the cheddar curtain for some water fun. It was not a good place for pix or video, so I only have one picture I can post.
That water slide is the only one. The kids had a great time. I took this picture during a mandatory “time out” for everyone. Apparently, someone spotted a “floatie” in the water, and so the water was closed for 45 minutes while it was fished out and the system cleaned. My girls ate dinner so fast and are now relaxing before bed. A nice way to end spring break!
Back to school tomorrow for all!
What a great way to spend your last day of Spring Break! Looks like you had a lot of fun. What a clever breakfast you had! And then a trip to a water park…very nice! The “floatie”…not so nice!! :-/
Lots of love to the sweetest granddaughters in the whole world!!

Kayla, Ashley, Happy to see that you had such a great day, before going back to school. What’s a “fl……………..”? oops, never mind, ……….. did I just hear the theme from the movie “Jaws”? 😮 😮 🙂 🙂 🙂
Hmmmm ” PanMcBurgerCakes ” interesting breakfast. 🙂 🙂
Raspberry pancakes sounds really good right now!
It is cool that you have so many interesting little water park places to visit. It looks like a cool place, minus floaties. I hope you had a good day back at school today, summer will be here before you know it!
Good Morning from the East Coast!! OK, Aunt Letty is officially jealous!! Not only did you go “swimming” on spring break, but you also had Monday off!!!! Lets see….it snowed everyday on our break, albeit no real accumulation. Even snowed both ways for our Pittsburgh trip!! (Swimming was out!!) And the Monday back at school (we were hoping that administration would say, April Fools, no school…go home!!) , our students really needed another day off. It was a sad day in our “special” classroom!! But really, I am very happy that your Easter break ended with fun times!! So glad Ashley is feeling better!! Loved the pictures!!! those hamburgers looked really yummy!! Much love and many hugs!!! 🙂
Sending some hugs and kisses to my girls as an extra in-between-your-post comment. 🙂
Lots of love to you all,
Gramma
