Mrs. Mango's Field trip

We went on a field trip to Mrs. Mango & Co.   



There were chickens running around, so Levi picked one up.  

And a very friendly piggy, and not-so-friendly "duck dog"  (this duck wags its tail and pants like a dog!)

Levi found the prickly ash trees.  The bark can be used to treat toothaches.

He got a honey stick

The kids learned about bees.  Here they are looking at a plant which the bees really like.

Where the bees live.


Bamboo plant

The kids made their own beeswax candles by rolling wax around a wick.

My sister Shawn and my mom both have birthdays in March.  

First, we went sailing!

My turn to steer!

Levi, Shawn and Tyler

We had a nice family dinner at Makoto's.   The waitstaff even got a decent picture of all of us at once!

We used Grammy's milk chocolate cake recipe for desert, and I made "bark" to decorate the sides. 

Next was Nai Nai's birthday:

Because we already had cake the week before, Nai Nai requested a lemon tart.   It was a big pain to make, but it was really tasty! 





Happy Birthday Shawn and Nai Nai!
