Cake mix Icing Peppermint Patties M & Ms Bugles corn chips Make the cupcakes according to the package directions. After they are baked, cooled and iced, put a peppermint pattie on top of each and ice it for the horse’s nose. Thin some of the remaining icing by heating it in the microwave, and use to dip the Bugles in for the horse ears. Next, pipe two white ovals and add black M & Ms for eyes. Pipe on the nostrils and mouth, and use the star tip to pipe the mane. Let them set up for about an hour before you serve them. Bon appetit!
‘summer camps,’ continued from page 9 Zoofari advertures Kansas City Zoo
It is hard to think of a more kidfriendly place than a zoo, and the Kansas City Zoo is as good as they get. Where else can you turn a corner and actually run into a kangaroo?
Set within the trees of Swope Park, the Kansas City Zoo summer camp program has been giving kids a place to go for years. Activities vary each day. You go behind the scenes and observe the animals, as well as conduct scientific experiments, make arts and crafts, and spend time exploring the Zoo with the experts. And don’t worry about the heat: the Zoo has misting fans throughout the grounds to keep campers cool and happy. You can tell your parents that snacks are provided to all

practice more on Barney, and I am saved for the riders who are preparing for a show. I am good for the more experienced riders because I do exactly what they tell me to do. Sometimes, they accidentally tell me to do something. I do it because that is what they said to do, even when I know it isn’t what they meant. They have to learn to say what they mean!
For example, sometimes they don’t take the time to set me up for the canter, so I just trot. Or sometimes they steer me into the middle of the ring, where I am happy to go stand. I make riders work! When they tell me to stay on the rail, I do. When they tell me to walk, I do. I know the instructor likes me because I am kind and yet challenging.
I think I’m her favorite.
Fred just got his hay, which means I’m next. Hooray! Talk to you later! n
