Where's Willow? Lake House (Day Five)

Sad to go....

The girls took one last group pose as a memento of their amazing time together before loading back into the car.

Where's Willow? Lake House (Day Four)

Last day to enjoy the great outdoors!

The girls brought out their skates. The roads around the lake house are dirt or gravel so the little bit of pavement could be found both in front and in back of the lake house. I told the girls no running or skating on the upper deck.

"Ouch!"

"Uh oh! Are you OK Ella?"

"No I scuffed my hands on the cement. I think I need to go inside and wash my hands." 

"I guess we should have let Ella wear the helmet." 

"Hey Ella! Bring us some cold drinks when you get back!"

"How long do you think THAT will take?"

Where's Willow? Lake House (Day Three)

SWIMMING!

"I'm going in the pool!" Ella yelled.

The weather has been perfect at the lake house, (except for bugs) which meant no going in the lake, only the pool. The girls could not wait to soak up the sun and swim.

 "Turn up that old fashioned radio you found. I can't hear it." Said Willow.

"I'm thirsty, did anyone bring any drinks?" Paige asked.
"I did!" Grace said.

"I'm going in the pool too." Willow said.

"No splashing me Willow."
"I wasn't going to splash you!"

"What do you think? Should we get in the pool now too?" 
"Yea but leave your drink here...."

"It's so much better in the pool!" 

Where's Willow? Lake House (Day Two)

The girls were up early and eager to BAKE! Grace held a class: Baking 101

• Measuring dry ingredients and liquid ingredients properly
• Pre-heating the oven
• Prepping work stations
• Using the freshest ingredients
• Decorating masterpieces (her favorite part)

Grace took a vote before the trip and everyone agreed that they wanted to learn how to make the best, most moist and fluffy cupcakes! Willow was very interested in learning how to make butter cream frosting. 

Grace explains that it's best if the ingredients are room temperature. "You must use two different measuring cups. One for dry ingredients and this one with the spout is for liquids."

 "Did you know that? I just always used the same cup."

"I did!" Willow says.

Grace takes the cupcakes to the pre-heated oven. The dogs are running through the kitchen!

"Look out Grace!"

"Oh no! Shoo you two!! I spilled batter."

"I'll clean up while those bake."

30 minutes later.....

Voila!

"I hope you enjoyed today's lesson. Here is your reward!"

  
"These look so yummy!"

 "Thank you Grace!"

Where's Willow? Lake House (Day One)

This time it's my turn to take Willow on a special trip to the lake house. I'm sure you're curious as to who is going this time....
Grace, Ella, and Paige. (The boys will have their own separate adventure this summer.) 

It's not doubt Willow is an experienced professional traveler! And Grace is a world traveler, but they typically travel alone. This time they will travel in a group and bring back shared memories!

My dolls needed bags for their sunnies, toothbrushes and other things. $3.00 bags in chevron print and (my favorite) leopard.

It's suppose to be a beautiful 84-degrees and the dolls also needed swimsuits. 

I found these on etsy.

The girls brought their pets, roller skates and their dolls of course.

 

The girls make their way upstairs. 
"Can you believe that view?" Willow asks.

Grace says the girls have to split up into pairs. She will team up with Ella.

"You and I can share a room."

"Hey Willow, that means we are room mates!"
