Since my granddaughter Michaela and her 4 kids were coming for a visit, I thought it would be fun to decorate with monkeys. Let's Go bananas! The kids are growing up fast.
I hung monkeys all around the palapa and some sat on the table. Large blow up monkey sat in a chair. Lots of monkeying around going on.

These furry little monkeys have the sweetest face and they are so easy to post on the table.

Saturday we had a surprise visit from my granddaughter Kailey and her husband and 4 kids.
Paul grilled hamburgers and hot dogs for everyone. I made banana pudding for the kids and Paul picked up a birthday cake for Ashland. Her birthday was actually June 17th. I also made a pasta salad. We always have a snow-cone machine ready.

What an amazing memory you've created — for both the children and yourself!
ReplyDeleteLinda, what a fun monkey theme and it looks like it was a big hit with the kids. It's wonderful to spend time with your family. Have a fun and relaxing time getting your nails done with Jain.
ReplyDeleteThis is such fun! Absolutely beyond delightful and I know your little (and not-so-little) ones had to enjoy it. Those are the kinds of things I think kids remember long after they are far older! Every touch is perfect (and by the way, they are adorable!)
ReplyDeleteLinda, what fun to have these darling children in your life. I can just imagine the excitement they feel knowing they will be with you, swimming and playing with each other. You are a special grandmother! The special party setting must be exciting for these kids. What wonderful memories you are making for them. They will never forget spending time at your home! Happy Summer.
