It's been a busy couple of weeks and I haven't been able to cook in a while. Two weeks ago, I went to see my brother, Andrew, swim in the NJCAA Swimming and Diving Championship in Buffalo, NY. It was a really fun trip, but really cold. It even snowed the last day. He ended up getting 15th in the 200 freestyle, 9th in the 500 freestyle, and 5th in the 400 IM. Last week was spring break! I went home and then on a cruise from Miami to the Bahamas with Paige, Andrew, and a few of his swimmer friends from college. We had a lot of fun! This week, I've just been busy catching up with school work and working out a new budget after spending a lot of money the weeks before.
While at home, I got to go to all four Disney parks and Downtown Disney. While at Downtown Disney, I saw some caramel apples that I could probably make into cake pops. I watched the guy make them and then yesterday tried to make the miniature versions of them. I think they turned out pretty well. :)
