Turtle, Elizabeth's "Dive", and Breakfast Chex

Drew and Josh found a turtle in our neighborhood over the weekend, and decided to let it go at a park that we like to go to - there are lots of turtles there so we they were hoping he would find a family! They invited us to go with them to let him go. Can you see the turtle on the stick right in the middle of the picture?Here's our group waiting to free the turtle.Here they're checking him out - watching his reaction to his new home. He seemed to like it :)

One last photo before we left. We don't get many pictures of all the cousins who live in TX together, so it was fun to get a few today.

Here's a video of Elizabeth this morning in my parent's pool. This was about the 5th time she went in. The first few times she actually did a dive! (a belly flop to be more precise) By this point she thought she was diving, but really was just kind of jumping with her hands over her head.

Breakfast Chex Mix

Jessica wants this recipe and told me I should put it on the blog in case anyone else needs some new ideas for breakfast! This is great (I think) if you are in a hurry in the morning since it's all ready to just eat and go.

(I found this on another blog...and I can't find it now...so sorry I can't properly acknowledge them)

2 c wheat chex

2 c rice chex

2 c bran chex ( I used corn chex)

2 c cheerios

1 c slivered almonds

4 T butter

1/3 c honey

1 c dried fruit

Put the oven at 300 degrees. Put the butter in a 9x13 pan and melt it in the oven. Add honey and whisk. Pour cereal and almonds into pan and mix. Bake uncovered for 30 min - stir every 10min. Let cool. Add dry berries.

Have a good week :)!
