Good Afternoon Race Fans

We made our appearance again at the Santa Anita racetrack recently (we tend to go a few times per season) and had a smashing fun time with some friends at the park for the day. In particular, my little man had fun romping around with his buddy. We are pretty lucky to have friends who have kids the same ages as ours. Going places with friends makes everything more fun (especially when the kids entertain each other!).

Kids on Ice

This was at the local skating rink recently for a friends' 6th birthday party. MAN, that's a lotta kiddos. Us mamas have our hands full, huh?

What to Make

Here's an easy one for you, and HEALTHY to boot! Get yourself a bunch of fruit. By that I mean, get a large variety of colors. Get red strawberries, raspberries or cherries, then oranges or manderines or cantelope and some yellow pineapple and green grapes or green apples or green kiwi and perhaps some blueberries and blackberries or purple grapes. Go crazy! Go on a huge fruit bender and buy out the entire produce section of colorful fruit! Okay, maybe not all of it, but you get the idea. Then get some skewers like the kind you'd make shish-ka-bobs on. Now pierce the fruit (in chopped up pieces of course) in a rainbow-like fashion. Okay you're done. That was easy, right? I made a zillion of these for a recent party and they were a hit. It's cool too because anything left over can be used for smoothies....mmmmmm....smoooooooothies.My daughter helped me make these they're so easy. This is a cutesy little treat for the kiddos or a fun snack to bring along to a party like the superbowl or something St. Patrick-ey, right? Right. Now go make it. It's a great excuse to eat lots of fruit.
