We have a new favorite snack. It is a tad on the messy side for the baby, but it was a hit. Pop some popcorn (microwave is fine) and spread it on wax paper or a jelly roll pan. Sprinkle with a couple
handfuls of dried cranberries. Melt a cup of chocolate chips in the microwave, watching carefully, for a minute or until melted through. Quickly, spoon the melted chocolate into a piping bag or zip-top bag. Snip a corner and squeeze on top of the popcorn/cranberry mix. The chocolate will bind the popcorn and cranberries so spread it
thoroughly. Let harden and eat. I think this would be fun to make as a party favor for school or birthday parties as well.
A few weeks back we went to Austin for the Austin marathon. It was a short trip and it confirmed my feelings that I definitely want to spend some more time in Austin. It seems like a fun city. While we only spent one night there we packed enough to spend a week! Martin kept asking why we had so much stuff.
Hmmm, I wonder. I have given up on packing lightly when traveling as a group of five.

Sunday was race day. We found a spot to cheer on runners and wait for Dad.
Big hugs for the runner, and the end to a fun, although quick, get-away.
