Birthday Party!

Went to a birthday party on the weekend for a young friend, and had so much fun! It wasn't 10 days after the last storms, so the mosquitoes weren't out (my new thing to learn for the day, I think), it was overcast but still warm, there was a paddle pool and enough toys to more than entertain the kiddies, and the food was awesome.
The theme - I think sort of Mexican in food, and garden party in decorations and in vibe. I did honestly feel like the whole thing would not be out of place in a kids parties magazine shoot...It felt very innocent and relaxed and low fuss, but with lots of little details that made you feel special.
The food: Little mini burgers - presented on platter open with hot beef patty and cheese already melted on. sliced tomato and guacamole, tomato sauce and mustard available to add.
Little things called corn dogs - a 2cm long frankfurt with a battered coating that was corn based around it - the batter struck me as very close to the hush puppy mix - stuck on what looked like a lolly pop stick.
Also taco chips, diced tomato salad, little yoghurt tubs, apple juice, water, coronas, devilled eggs, watermelon, and my new favourite frozen drink - Bourbon Slushies, served in little Dixie cups (waxed paper cups with a design on the outside?)
We left just as the guests were starting to melt down, but because we'd had early dinner the evening was really easy.
