A Day at Grams!

Yesterday was my kids first day of fall break. We decided to spend the day at my parents house, so that we could work on the costumes. The kids were bored so we went to the store to buy stuff to make caramel apples and dinner. My brother , his wife, and their kids were also over. When we got back I started making dinner. We made potato soup and scones with honey butter! My mom decided to try out a new cheesecake recipe, It was so good, but then again I have yet to find a cheesecake recipe that I didn't like! I will post the recipe soon. The kids got busy making caramel apples. We decided just to buy caramels and melt them down that was a mistake. Once we heated the caramel as much as we did it started going hard. {note to self; next time make the homemade caramel} We wanted to try and make the apple pie apples that you get from Rocky Mountain Candy Company, so we dipped them in white chocolate and rolled them in cinnamon and sugar. I was hoping to take a really good picture of these amazing caramel apples that we made, but they didn't quite turn out that way! They still taste ok, but you have to heat them a little before you eat them! The kids had fun and I guess that's all that matters. Next time we will just pay the darn $4 and buy them! Good times!

This is the yummy orange vanilla cheesecake my mom made!
