I have been apart of the Harlow Rocks group for over a year now! Often, when running our Pokemon Go group, we will do rock decorating days to give to the Harlow Rocks group. It’s basically a group of people who paint a bunch of rocks and then hide them in the town and beyond. These rocks are meant to be found and bring joy to whoever sees them. During the summer and Easter each year, Harlow Rocks does a Rock Drop event, where we all band together to try to hide a huge number of rocks! There are a bunch of other activities there as well. This is our third Harlow Rocks event that we’ve attended, this time on the Easter Monday as it happened to fall, which was very fun.

I know it’s past Easter, but I couldn’t help booking up another Spring cupcake course with Sweet Designs by Jennie. Our Spring wreath class from last month was ten cupcakes, so this time doing six felt very quick. These designs were mostly different from the wreaths we’ve previously done, which is one thing I very much enjoy about these courses. Even if they have a similar theme, they do feel completely unique and different. Amelia and I are very into these cupcake classes, as it’s the perfect mother-daughter activity to bond. The classes themselves contain up to six people, so it feels super intimate and good. As we have been to so many of them, we knew quite a few of the regulars and it’s so much fun catching up.

We often go to the Harlow Chinese School for their cooking classes, but the dates haven’t previously lined up so that we could take our whole family. This time, however, everyone was free and excited to be attending to make bao buns – which is actually a favorite in our household! This class was all about Bao Buns, but in normal fashion, there were also some surprises and side dishes that were made to go with it.

When trying to deice something to do over the weekend, we ended up finding that there were some escape rooms at Lakeside! Escape Hunt actually is within Boom Battle Bar, which was interesting and slightly hard to find, but we were excited to take on Alice in Puzzleland. It had been a while since we all have done an Escape Room, and we were pumped.
