Summer Vacation - Day 2 - Because Everything Dipped in Chocolate is Better

Day 2 of summer vacation turned out to be a winner. I decided we'd make a special treat for ourselves. We began with our special ingredients:



Below is evidence of my child's love for chocolate. I said, "Hey, get your hand out of there" and Smart flint Goldensword quickly responded with, "My hand is out of control, Mami." Geez.


After melting the chocolate, we began the dipping process:


Like her elder brother, Izzy also snagged one of our special treats. She, however, realized it wasn't dipped in chocolate and offered it back to us:


...looks like someone had a good time cleaning the bowl....


And here we have the finished product. Cute, right? And they are oh-so-healthy-too!


As an added bonus and because Smart Flint Goldensword had a serious case of cabin fever, I took the kiddos to the park for a picnic.


This web-contraption thingy was a big hit (in addition to my chocolate-dipped strawberries)


When they were all consumed, Smart Flint Goldensword said, "Mami, let's do that again because everything dipped in chocolate is better."

I agree.
