Trail Mix


Yesterday the first grade had a field trip to McDowell Park.  We had a great time learning about habitats and native and non-native animals.  We took a little hike on trails suggested by the park staff.  During lunch time I was walking around talking to some of my first grade buddies, even some of those from last year.  I noticed one of the girls in Alex's class had a mix of cereal.  I asked her what it was and she said it was a "special" trail mix her mom made for her.  The good thing about smart phones is, when she told me what was in the mix, I emailed myself what she said!

I'm going to call this Special First Grade Trail Mix.  Here's what's in the mix:  Fruity Cheerios, plain Cheerios, M&Ms, and almonds.  I just mixed all these in a gallon size zip bag.  This stuff is so, so good!  Of course by the time I saw what she had in her baggie, the M&Ms were gone.  That would be the first thing I would eat too!
