the children felt about win- ning and how long they'd been baking.Julia told me she loves making cookies, and that their family looks forward to the cookie contest every year.
William on the other hand said his cookie making experi- ence was a tad more difficult
and involved some "exploding marshmallows."
"Exploding marshmal- lows?" I asked, "How did that happen?"
They burst out in laughter as they began telling me the story.
"I didn't freeze the marsh- mallows the first time I tried this," said William. "So they burst open in the oven. It was a mess."
William told me he had plans to enter the contest back in 2017 but was unable to because of the marshmal- low mishap.

volunteers will be on hand to answer your questions and to share stories about some of our permanent residents. Visit our gift shop where you’ll nd unusual handcrafted gifts for the holidays.
