Summer Fun and Yum

I am enjoying the Minnesota summer immensely. Our favorite summer activities are swimming in lakes and pools, exploring the wilderness, discovering playgrounds and of course gardening. We discovered a playground nick-named "Chutes and Ladders" and though it's about a 20 minute car ride away, it is worth the drive. Remember the classic board game, Chutes and Ladders? You'll understand why the park and the game share the same name once you visit!

In addition to playing, we love treating ourselves to yummy summer delights. We make homemade popsicles just about every other day. Sofia is addicted to popsicles and I find that making popsicles at home is much healthier and less expensive than what you can buy in the store.

Sofia's favorite frozen delights are "Mango Lassi Popsicles."

Mango Lassi Popsicles Recipe
