Apple Fritter Donut







                       So it's my cousin David's spring break. For a treat we went out for donuts! Yummm!! I got an apple fritter, and David got a cake donut. 
                     Last night we ( Dad, Mom, Paul, Carolyn, and Me) met our soon to be cousins! Tommy, Hannah, and Luke. They were so funny. Also Stephanie's Grandma, and Mom. We had an amazing Italian
dinner, first a Caprisi salad, second asparagus wrapped in a wonderful meat, ( which I forgot the name of) homemade red sauce, and 1/8 inch thick beef with bread crumbs and herbs rolled up with bay leaves and onion on a kabob!!!!! For dessert we had apple cheesecake bars yum! got to go.
