Kayi scooting around the boats
This Banana Cake is one of the things I don’t usually like to bake but I was up to it after we went on a big walk down by the marina along the walkway by the boats. Me and Zara took our scooters and we kept on throwing rocks in the water and I almost hit a boat, that gave me a bit of a fright! anyway the first worst part about it was where I had to peel and mash the 4 bananas that had been in the freezer for so long and the second part was doing the flour which spilt all over the floor! but luckily it was ready in time for desert Yum!!
When I was scooting around, Zara took some time out
