Pirates & Polka Dots Party (part 2)

Part 1 was all about decor...

Now let's see some grub.
I created a treasure map table cover 
(using kraft paper, I painted on big dots to lead the way to yummy food - marked with labels)

I will say..it was HOTTER than you know what...
so some things melted (and were moved inside)

here are some of the goodies we had

Fruit Swords 
(with picks found, by the lizard, at Publix months ago)

Plank cookies
(the kit kats didn't last long outside)

  9. I just added your fruit swords to my Magic Tree House Book club - Knights at Dawn post! Thanks for the cute idea. The swords work perfectly for a pirate or knight party.
