Honey, I Shrunk The Kids Dinner

We did a dinner for one of my childhood favorites, Honey, I Shrunk The Kids!  We had a great time!  How could you not!??

For dinner, we had Thompson Family's Catch of the Day Fish Sticks, Wayne Szalinski's Test Run Applesauce, Anties on a log, Nick's Cheerios, Mudslide Cocktail, and Backyard Oatmeal Creme Pies. 

Thompson Family's Catch of the Day Fish Sticks

We got fish sticks from the grocery store.  I hadn't had fish sticks in ages and actually these weren't too bad!

Wayne Szalinski's Test Run Applesauce

Anties on a Log 

Nick's Cheerios

Mudslide Cocktail

We kind of made this one up with what we had however it's close to this Frozen Mudslide recipe.

We used Rocky Road Ice Cream, Milk, Ice, Kahlua, Whipped Vodka, Creme de Cacao.  Tim said it was pretty tasty.  I obviously just had Ice Cream, Milk and Ice.  

Backyard Oatmeal Creme Pies 

This was SUCH an easy dinner and so much fun to show Olivia!  

Close Encounters of the Third Kind Dinner

We are getting ready to go on vacation to see my in-laws and we decided that we want to visit Devils Tower beforehand!  Tim suggested that we do a dinner for Close Encounters of the Third Kind to prepare for this.  I hadn't seen the movie so Tim planned this one and it was really fun!

Sleep Gas Livestock Steaks, Devils Tower Mashed Potatoes, UFO Fruit Bowl filled with Barry's Berries, Close Encounters of the Slurred Kind Cocktail, and UFOreos

Tim made up these steaks with some different seasonings we had in the house

Devils Tower Mashed Potatoes

UFO Fruit Bowl filled with Barry's Berries

We got this fruit bowl from Hornbacher's and Olivia was a huge fan!

Close Encounters of the Slurred Kind Cocktail

We got this from our book: Gone with the Gin

2 ounces of Tequila

4 ounces of Hefeweizen beer

Club soda to fill

*unless you're pregnant... than just club soda to fill with a splash of grapefruit juice

We had a great time and are very excited about our vacation out west!

I thought I'd post some pictures of our trip to Devils Tower!  We had a blast!
