West Coast Family Fun

We closed out summer with a week visiting family in Washington State.  Steve's grandma was finishing up her trip to the northwest, so we got to spend a little time with her before she headed back to Arizona.

Of course Blake had lots of Grammy time...

...and Grampa time!

 

 Life is so much more fun when your cast is gone and you've got a new friend to play with.

But the boys weren't the only ones having fun!  Bev and I ventured into the world of cake pops.  These were our first attempts, and they are actually "oreo truffle" pops. 

A crazy delicious experiment.  We made a second batch covered in milk chocolate and sprinkled with sugar crystals.  I didn't snap any pictures of those since it was about midnight when we finished, and we were leaving the next day, but they were beautiful - and we came up with a way to dry them standing up.  Bev and I always find something to craft and make together.  One of my favorite parts of staying at their house, and she has so many ideas and supplies at our fingertips.  Fun!!!
