Plunge In!

We kicked off our first meeting of the school year today. Since this year's theme is "Plunge In," the ladies came up with a beach party theme that was put together so well. While I was excited to reconnect with friends and see some new faces, my camera was mostly pointed at the food! *blush* I couldn't resist snapping pictures before everything was gobbled up.

These had to be my favorite for the cute factor. Tinted cream cheese is spread on Ritz cracker with broccoli and chives mimicking sea vegetation while Goldfish swim around.
The peanut butter pudding in the sand bucket was delicious, but I had more fun scooping it out with the shovel than anything. Even went back for seconds.
These cheese cubes on drink umbrellas prove it doesn't have to be complicated to be cute.
Nutter Butter Flip-Flips. Who thinks of these things?
Mandarin orange boats floating in gelatin made me want to set sail.
Don't forget the life preservers while you're out on the boats.
Simple touches like serving fruit and snack mix with beach toys instead of bowls and spoons added and extra touch.
Hurricane glasses filled with beachy goodness adorned the tables
Thank you Steering Team and Mentors for creating an oasis for us with your beach party ideas!
