In the past week, I have been feverishly preparing for our big cook out and playgroup get together today. Here are some pics from today (forgive them, they are cell phone pictures). And, yes, I may be the next Martha Stewart ;)

| This was an upside down ice bucket that I decorated and used as a cake stand |

| A little nautical dinnerware collected from Etsy, Target and Party City. |
Some of our themed foods were; Bulkhead Buns, Salty Dogs, Buoy Burgers, Port-side Potato Salad, Mermaid Melon Slices and Compass Corn. For our Davey Jones Desserts we had Kraken Cake and Flying Dutchman Ice Cream.

| Here's James playing in the back yard. All the kids had a great time playing outside together:) |
We had such a nice time with all our friends, kids and adults. I hope this becomes a bit of a tradition. Though we didn't get to go to the fireworks because of poor naps, we more than made up for it at the cookout.
