Lets Go Bananas!

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.

How about a giant blow up monkey?


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

Mini bananas are added to the theme, because monkeys love bananas and so do the kiddos.


Michaela and the kids showed up on Wednesday. Lots of monkey business and swimming.  They spent the night and left the next day.  Friday was Michaela's birthday and the family went camping for three days.

They love the snow -cones.  I just ordered a new snow-cone machine because the previous one is having issues.

I found these adorable melamine monkey plates.

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.

All of the kids had a great time swimming. They all want to come back.  I am still recovering from both visit.  I am off to get my nails done tomorrow with Jain. @aquietgardenlife

I love seeing the pool all lit up.   Happy summer.

  8. This 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!)
