Ace of Cakes we are not, but it looks pretty good for my first attempt at making an extreme cake.   Everything was made from scratch, the cake, butter cream frosting, and the rolled fondant.  I had some help by Stephanie, the girls, Hannah, and Jeremy.

Hannah on the Zip Line.  It was a really big zip line.  I thought for sure she was not going to do it.  She climbed up the 20 ft ladder, and away she went.  “Did you see me mom I flew like a bird”

Hannah on the rock wall at Mammoth Mtn.  She motored up the wall, and got about 3/4 of the way and then looked down.  She got scared and wanted to come down.

Hannah wanted to sit on every rock, every log, and hide behind every tree.  It was too cute.IMG_8553

While we were out taking pictures of the beautiful surroundings that I grew up in we saw Sam and Betty.  Sam and Betty live across the street from my parents in Mammoth, and have lived there for as long as I can remember.  They have always been a special part of my life, and it was just wonderful to see them :) IMG_8554 IMG_8557 IMG_8560 IMG_8561IMG_8572

“Mom can you see me now?" IMG_8587 IMG_8591Cole was determined to get in the Fire Truck car, but Ben was not going to get out.   Cole decided he would just get in on top of Ben.
