Pool Party
I wanted to do something fun for my girls (ages 7 and 9)before their summer vacation was over so I decided to have a "Girlfriends Pool Party". We invited 10 of their closest friends from school. Most of whom they had not seen all summer. Invitations were written on beach balls and mailed in 8x11 envelopes. Menu: 1. "Peanut butter and Jellyfish" sandwiches (cut bread with fish shaped cookie cutters and add peanut butter and jelly). I served the sandwiches on a large fish shaped platter. 2. Chips and dip 3. "Crab Cakes": I baked cupcakes (yellow) and topped them with strawberry flavored frosting. I inserted mini chocolate chips for eyes and for legs I used sour punch strawberry candy straws (licorice) cut into 2 inch pieces. I inserted three on each side of the cupcakes. (Made to look like crabs) 4. Drinks: Mondo drinks (blue) served in a large clear plastic bowl with a little blue food coloring added to the ice water and I labeled the bowl "Ocean Water" written on blue construction paper cut into the shape of a wave. 5. Individually wrapped Life Savers candy was offered in a fish shaped bowl with a lifesaver shaped label that read, "For your safety, Life Savers are provided". 6. I served gold fish cheddar crackers in fish shaped
Then I sprinkled some sand around the bowl on the table and placed miniature shells and sea creatures in the sand. I plan on doing this again this summer. It was store bought with a lovely beach/pool theme. Mix 1 gallon of water, 1/2 cup Joy dish washing liquid and 1/4 glycerin( found in local pharmacy). will be shown to the kids for a minute. a big tray of sunblock, sunglasses, pail, shovel, water wings etc. The buckets will be full of popcorn, chips and other small snacks that the kids will be able to scoop onto their plates with sand shoves -also brand new and clean. (one toy per balloon) I placed the balloon in the freezer overnight.
