Our friends Charlie and Abby invited us over for a Tiki-themed party on Saturday night. It had been a long week - traveling, election, Bill solo-parenting all week, and the weekend was no exception! Three soccer games within twenty-four hours - where Ellie played goalie for 2 of the 3 games!
We spent much time outdoors, cheering and consoling as the team did not make the finals to be played on Sunday. (Small, quiet cheer from ALL the parents!) So off to Charlie's we went after cleaning up from the 11:15am and 4:15pm games.
He assured us that Ellie was welcome to join us and had a special treat in mind for her when we arrived. He cored a pineapple and served her non-alcoholic Tiki drink in it! She thought it was pretty neat! We had lots of pineapple, coconut and drink umbrellas after that. They grilled scallops and shrimp with bacon on the grill, and served mini-egg rolls and pot stickers with a variety of sauces to try!
And a tiki party would not be complete without a variety of floral leis to choose from ... here are just a few from the event!
