Monster March

Each year our neighborhood business association hosts a "Monster March." Hundreds of children and adults gather at the elementary school and parade through the neighborhood and back to the school. Gabriella was pretty excited about it and both girls enjoyed seeing all of the children (and adults!) in costume. I didn't take any pictures during the actual parade. These are from the walk home.

The gorgeous river bluff was just calling out for some picture taking...

We skipped the parade treats and when we got home we made some "coffee mug chocolate cake." I read the reviews on the recipe site and followed the advice of adding a little baking soda for extra fluff and a tish more oil to keep it moist. I also substituted almond milk to make it safe for Gabriella. It wasn't the best chocolate cake I've ever had in my life, but it was a fun quick project/treat for Gabriella and the texture was actually pretty decent.
