Preschool Beach Night

Sam's preschool held their annual Family Beach Night this month. It was a time for families to get together and move their bodies using their gross motor skills. Basically we got to eat a potluck dinner, do some crafts, and participate in carnival events, like bean bag toss, dancing with streamers and ring toss. The hit activities were the scooter obstacle course and parachute.

I forgot to wear one of my flowered shirts. I was not thinking. I was also not thinking when I sprinkled the cinnamon sugar on my fruit salad. One family brought little beach buckets filled with fresh fruit salad full of berries, melon slices and grapes. Plastic spades were the serving utensils, and the buckets were sitting on a platter covered in a light brown sand. I thought that it was great idea to use cinnamon sugar to carry the theme on this display, and added a bit to my fruit. Later, I tasted a strawberry and wondered why no one had bothered to rinse it off. It didn't look dirty, but it was very gritty. Then I tried a piece of cantaloupe. It was also sandy. Then I realized that the cinnamon sugar sand really was colored sand.

LOL about that tasty cinnamon sugar! The sand buckets are such a cute idea, though. Haha!
