That's some good cake!

Last Sunday, my sister Amy and her family were here from out of state. We had a get together at my sister Julie's house. It was great hanging out with the fam. But what was really great was Julie's Cake! She always makes the best stuff. I made it yesterday because I have not stopped thinking about it since Sunday.

Dylan climbed into this bowl of water where he remained for sometime...he's a silly kid! I had taken Maddie into the house to wash off her hands. She got upset cause she wanted to play in the water. Julie decided to spoil her a little and bring her some water to play in. As soon as Dylan saw it, he hopped right in.
