Crunch Wrap Supreme at Home

Olive added at at home Crunch Wrap Supreme to our menu last week.  She loves Taco Bell and was inpsired to create our own Crunch Wraps.  As our kids are getting older, they love to help me plan meals for the week.  Olive added the ingredients to our grocery list.  I like to leave the Walmart website up on my desktop and the kids will add items to it throughout the week.  Then I edit them before I order groceries.

We used the following items:

burrito soft shells

tortilla chips

pico

shredded lettuce

sour cream

queso

shredded cheddar cheese

green onions

We added the ingredients in a big burrito shell.  Folded it.  We found that it worked better to roll it and flatten it like burrito.  Warm up a skillet and then toast each side.

The crunch, the delicious filling and then flavor combos was SO GOOD.  Olive and I loved how they turned out.  We can't wait to make them again.

Our first try - we folded all the edges in.

Our second try.  I left it open on the ends (due to tons of toppings!) and toasted both sides.

Cut in half and serve.  It was delicious.

Put this crunch wrap on your menu ASAP!

Devil's Lake & Mirror Lake Favorites

We decided to buy a Wisconsin State Park Pass last Summer and we're putting it to good use.  We visited our favorite Devil's Lake State Park and tried out a new park Mirror Lake.  They were both stunning in the Fall.  They Fall leaves were much more colorful than our leaves in Indiana right now so it was a treat to see all the lovely Fall colors.  The parks were busy so we got several good family pictures this trip!

Devil's Lake State Park.  We headed to our favorite trail - Tumbled Rocks Trail.  You get beautiful views.  Have a paved path and there aer fun rocks to climb on if you want to do that.  The park shop was open so we stocked up on some new Devil's Lake gear.  It was crowded at times, but we had plenty of room to explore on our own.  I'm always thankful for kind strangers that snap family pictures for us.

 Mirror Lake State Park.  This park proved to be harder to navigate.  It didn't show up on the maps like we wanted (it kept saying we had arrived when we were in the middle of nowhere) so we followed the signs and found our way to the welcome center.  They gave us a highlighted map which also proved to be a little less than helpful.  I think it would have been easier if we entered the park from the interstate exit verses the country roads we attempted.

We drove around enjoying the camp sites and the leaves.  There were tons of campers.  Then the boys found a sign that said beach so we headed to the beach to park and explore.  The lake was gorgeous.  The leaves were even prettier and we had the best afternoon at this lovely park.  There are tons of camp sites and I think still tons of the park to explore.  Next time!  We found painted rocks, chatted with some campers and saw a cute older couple taking their canoe out for a spin.  There were tons of trails to explore.  We did one and will return in the Spring or Summer to check out more.

If you visit a place often, we'd highly recommend buying a park pass.  It's been such a fun way for us to get out and explore when we are in Wisconsin.

Apple Picking at Ski Hi

We look forward to going apple picking every Fall!  There aren't many apple orchards near us anymore so we always put it on our Fall Break to do list.  I think this was our 3rd Fall picking apples at Ski Hi fruit farm in Baraboo, Wisconsin.  It just a few minutes from The Dells and close by Devil's Lake State Park.  They only do you pick apples on the weekends so we made to sure put that on our weekend plans.

We picked apples first and then headed to their store.  We tried their apple slushies, apple cider donuts, apple pie, apple drinks and brats.  They have delicious food and really cute souvenirs.  The boys wore their sweatshirts from previous trips.

They said they'd been busy this picking season so there were some ladders out to help reach the apples that were up high on the trees.  The boys loved that challenge!

We picked a lot of honey crisp and golden delicious.

We ate our way through the orchard.

Fletcher spotted a nest in the apple tree.

These tiny apples were so cute.

Roy the orchard guy told us that picking an apple with leaves on it was like getting an apple trophy!  We all got some apple trophies.

Honey Crisp always and forever.

Kevin loves to get a hard cider flight.

We visited the animals and drove a tractor.  Leo told us that he's going to grow up to be a farmer.

It was the perfect Fall day at Ski Hi!
