Cooking Camp

Tyler attended Cooking Day Camp for 3 days this week. Our budget was a little tight, and we didn't think he'd be able to go, but he collected donations from Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents until he had enough (combined with money from his own bank) to go. We have quite the little entrepreneur (or possibly televangelist) on our hands! The class focused on baking, and he made cookies (day 1), breads (day 2), and pies (day 3). One of Tyler's favorite activities was piping whipped cream on a chocolate-caramel pie. He said his favorite thing to eat at camp was 'whoopie-pie,' which is actually an oreo-type cookie.

Tyler came home with a love of baking, and is looking forward to making delicious baked goods to send to all those who helped make it possible!

Tyler became good friends with the boy who is sitting next to him. He had just moved to SA with his family from Hong Kong, and his mom enrolled him in Young Chefs Academy hoping he'd make a friend. They exchanged numbers (after introducing their parents to each other), and they hope to have a play-date soon!

Personally, I just hope Tyler bakes us some bread soon, because Derek is getting sick of using hotdog buns for his PB&Js.
