Food Play dates: July and August

July's Food Playdate was a celebration of the summer salad.  Jessica hosted this event inspired by her own patriotic berry salad of blueberries and strawberries! Summer favorites were served up cool and in wonderful combinations.

August's Food Playdate the fruitiness continued!  The menu included tropical pineapple salsa, lots of fruit for dipping, and some Chicken Kofta Meatballs served with an apricot sauce.  If that isn't enough, it looks like the decadence continued with peanut butter banana shakes and my all time favorite treat all year round: guacamole!

Summer sure sounds like a good time to snack to me!

July BIG Play: Splash Pad!

Playing in water during the summer is fun for all ages.  Today the littles were treated to some big-kid-free time at the elmwood park splash pad.  It wasn't the hottest day we've had, but it was fun to run around and interact with all the different water features.  Comically, some liked it better than others. August's big play will be at the splash pad too so if you missed this one, you'll get a second chance!
