More about the wiener party....

I almost forgot to mention some other really cool parts of our wiener party! Papa made 10 different types of sausages and wieners for appetizers. We got to try wieners from all over the world! It was so cool and yummy!

In addition to the wieners we decided to enhance the unhealthy party with a fry contest! We friend all kids of appetizers....the winners were Uncle Rob's fried artichokes and my fried mozzarella sticks! So YUMMY! We ate and ate so much we did not have room for our fried desserts (snickers and oreos)! We did however have room for snow cones! We even got to make the snow cones in the screened in room!

Here is what is left of the friend goodness (onion rings, artichokes, cheese, mozzarella sticks. mushrooms.....MMMmmmm)!!

And the Wiener is.....

This weekend we had a family Memorial Day weekend Wiener Party! It was SO MUCH FUN! Each family member (kiddos included) submitted their famous wiener toppings all on a hot dog! We had 14 entries in all and there were lots of YUMMY wieners! We had awards from best presentation, best overall wiener to worse wiener!

It was a blast and we hope to make it an annual tradition.....food contest that is. We may change up the type of food!

Bathing Suit 2011

Here is one of my new bathing suits for the season! I love it! I especially LOVE the flowers. Mommy loves the hat, but it is only for pictures (at least that is what I told her)!
