Thanks to some of the kids, Al & I have the Pass of all Passes!  They are pretty cool things.  I wish I had the time to use it to the fullest.  I have a job, so I don't have enough time to use it that much.  I decided to take some time off and go to Seven Peaks.  We went to the one in Utah County (in Utah).  It is HUGE!  We (The Whitneys & me) were there for 4 hours.  It didn't feel like that long, until the next 2 or 3 days.

In August Thanksgiving Point has a deal called "$2 Tuesdays."  You can go to the farm, dinosaur museum or the gardens for only two dollars.

We were going to do that after swimming.  The four hours of fun even wore the kids out.  I got them to go to Cabelas instead.  It was a very fun day.

My hubby & I teach Primary -  church lessons for the 8-10 year olds.  Al was trying to make a point of how much do we really need to go camping.  He ( and a little bit of my help) put together these cool camping kits.

They have a space blanket, utensils, the container - for water, and "safety matches".  I printed some candles in a matchbook cover.  No real matches here!

Don't know if the kids got the point of the lesson, but we enjoyed doing this.

So, I'm making a wedding cake for the weekend.  I use a lot of egg whites.  I have some left over yolks. I like to make my grandmother's nutmeg loaf.  I'd like to share it with you.

               Nutmeg Loaf

4 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup shortening
10 egg yolks (or 12, if you have them)
1 cup milk
3 teaspoons vanilla

Beat everything together for 2 minutes.  Add 1/2 cup more of milk ( 1 1/2 cups total) and beat 2 more minutes.

Pour into 2 greased loaf pans.  Bake 350 degrees for around an hour.

For those of you that don't use that many cake mixes at a time, here's my mom's angel food cake recipe.  If I have an extra dozen of eggs, I make both of these.

           Angel Food Cake

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups egg whites (around a dozen)
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/4 teaspoons almond flavoring

Sift dry ingredients together 4 times.  (yes, 4!)  Beat egg whites until frothy.  Add cream of tartar and flavorings and beat until it holds peaks.  Gently add in the dry ingredients.  Pour into an ungreased tube pan. Put into a cold oven.  Bake at 350 degrees for an hour.  Invert hot cake.  Let it cool.

Enjoy!
