Vacation Day 5

We made pancakes this morning with the batter blaster! It claims to be organic but I don't believe there is any nutrition in the stuff. The children loved them. I made an initial pancake on top of each child's batch for fun. Sorry no pictures this time.

As soon as breakfast was cleaned up I started making lunch and dinner. I whipped up a great batch of chicken stock with the innards of two chickens I then put in a crock pot for dinner. There were no onions but my sick children appreciated the soup with only the few herbs and left over veggies we had on hand here. It made the kids feel a little better.

DH and Tigger packed a hiking back pack with junk food and headed out to find the top of the waterfall. They planned on a few hours hike but found it within 15 minutes! Then they spent the next two hours hiking around the rest of the area. They found another waterfall and mapped out the course of the stream.

I hammered out my school schedule for the year while the kids watched television most of the day. Not much else to do when raining and sick.
