Welcome to our Branson 2nd Ward Activity Day's Blog!

We decided that creating a blog for the girls would be a fun way to share recipes, pictures, activities and assignments, and information! Check back often for new plans, recipes, and ect. Also, feel free to send me pictures to post, we haven't taken the time to take any so far. (Oops!) We'd love to have comments and feedback, especially as the girls try the recipes at home.
