Oh!And you know what would go great with this? Goldfish! (Pepperidge Farm cheese cracker). What a cute meal! You could have a luncheon for the kiddos, then read Dr. Seuss's "Stars on Ours"; followed by a viewing of "The Little Mermaid" and then have water play outside. A great bday celebration for the small aquatic set. ;o)
