Once upon a time there was a little girl named Princess Kaitlyn. She lived in a beautiful castle by an enchanted forest, a magical lake, and a fantastically fun playground. One morning, Princess Kaitlyn awoke to bright rays of sunshine sparkling it's yellow glow around her room. She jumped out of bed and knew exactly what adventure she would embark on this particular day.
Princess Kaitlyn headed towards the fantastically fun playground where she would meet the boisterous butterflies from the enchanted forest. Upon arriving, Princess Kaitlyn noticed that the playground looked different. It glistened in the sunlight and shed drops of colorful liquid onto the ground. What's going on? wondered Princess Kaitlyn.
As Princess Kaitlyn walked up to the monkey bars, one boisterous butterfly explained that they turned the playground into Popsicle Park for the day because of the hot weather. The slides were orange and coconut
creamsicles, the climbing wall made of
fudgesicles, the monkey bars looked like bomb pops (red, white and blue rocket shaped
popsicle), and the bridges made of push up
popsicles. "Awesome!" Princess Kaitlyn exclaimed. She had never played in a
popsicle park before.
After a fun and sticky day of playing in Popsicle Park, Princess Kaitlyn ventured back to the castle and straight to her kitchen to make a little something for the boisterous butterflies. Do you know what she made... POPSICLES!
Princess Kaitlyn decided to make two different kinds of
popsicles...
Orange Creamsicle (semi-healthy)- Orange Juice (~ 2 cups)
- Vanilla Yogurt (~8-10 ounce)
- Vanilla Extract (~1 teaspoon)
- Orange Oil (~1/8 teaspoon)
AND
Root Beer Float Popsicles- Root beer (~2 cups)
- Natural Vanilla Ice Cream (~2 cups)
- Sugar Sprinkles
Princess Kaitlyn added the ingredients to the blender.
She tasted her concoction to determine if it needed extra root beer or ice cream - nope!!
Princess Kaitlyn decided it tasted 'just right' and opened the sprinkles, but oops...
Even messes get made in Princess Kaitlyn's kitchen!
Princess Kaitlyn added sprinkles to her root beer
popsicles.
Now Princess Kaitlyn gets ready to put them in the freezer for a six hours. She also drinks the leftovers - tasty!!
Next Princess Kaitlyn makes the orange
creamsicle popsicles. These have healthier ingredients - no sugar, no honey, and no ice cream. Princess Kaitlyn asks mommy if this is a good idea and her mommy assures her that they'll taste great!
Princess Kaitlyn adds the yogurt, followed by orange juice, vanilla, and orange oil.
The ingredients are blended, now it;s time for the
popsicle molds.
Princess Kaitlyn adds the
popsicle sticks and into the freezer they go.
It's time to eat...let's try the root beer
popsicle first!
"Cheers daddy!"
"Are these delicious enough for my butterfly friends daddy?"
Taste testing the orange
creamsicle popsicle. Tastes good, but Princess Kaitlyn likes the root beer
popsicle better!
Side note: the orange creamsicle is good, however, it would taste much better with real cream and sugar or vanilla ice cream. Obviously, won't be as good for you!

Madelyn and tummy time.
Another smile for the camera.
Madelyn sticking her tongue out. She definitely has daddy genes in her.
