Thank's Kate!

When we were in Edmonton, my friend Kate taught us the right way to make espresso and cappucino's. She even made the kids "choclate coffee" (steamed, frothy, choclate milk with whip cream)! The morning we were getting ready to leave, Caleb asked me "Mommy, can you make us choclate coffee when we get home?". With our new barista info in hand we decided to get an espresso machine when we got home to complete "Shelley's cafe".

Then we took a day trip with the kids up to Sun Valley for the day, where I found the antique dutch coffee grinder at a second hand store "The Gold Mine" where I got a steal of a deal! It was also up here that we found our cappucino cups. On the way home we took the boys to the ice caves. There weren't any pictures from the day so that is why I am mentioning it here.

After practicing our barista skills for the past week, we had our first guests tonight! Dan's parents came over for cappuccino's. Dan's mom brought her decaf beans with her so we decided to try out the antique grinder and it worked perfectly. We had a great evening sitting in the gazebo in our back yard with the adults enjoying cappuccino's and the boys with their "choclate coffees". Elton was so cute sitting up at the table with his cappucino cup. You could tell he felt special and so mature (for a 2 1/2 yr old that is)!
