Tiki Tiki Tiki!!!

What a fantastic weekend party! We held an inaugural corn roast with a TIKI inspired theme! Fun stuff!!! Woohooo!!!


What is Tiki?.....think polynesian or luau without all the flowers. Very kewl !



















We served Mai Tai's (rum, amaretto, tiple sec, OJ, pineapple and grenadine), Mojitos (mint, lime, havana club rum, gingerale and sugar) and the Honolulu (OJ, lemon juice, pineapple juice, and gin)....oh and some jello shooters....just for fun!!!!!

Then for dinner we had the corn (boiled in a turkey fryer....great idea for large groups), BBQ pulled pork, meatballs, baby potatoes and salads.











Here's the shooter shack and the tiki bar ......





















I found an old bar, made a top for it and covered it with grass skirts! The light up sign was a bonus!


The shooter shack was the kids jungle gym with grass skirts and a bamboo mural around the bottom. The best part was that anyone wanting a shooter had to climb the ladder to get it and then exit the shack using either one of the slides or the tow line! What a hoot!!!


The highlights: We played the newlywed game....thanks Mel! ....had limbo contests and of course, had some very interesting karaoke on the rented sound system. Good thing I invited my neighbors! (wink)

Stayed up 'till almost 4am today......yawn.....I'm off to bed! G'night!
