Chocolate Fountain Party

We really lived it up this past Spring Break. I've already shown you a little of what we did and there is plenty more to come. One of the fun things we did was a Chocolate Fountain Party night with my sisters and their families. I bought a chocolate fountain off Groupon and was dying to try it out, so we got a bunch of yummy foods to dip in there, invited them over and fired that baby up!

When Mary's family arrived at the party, her five year old Abbie called from the car, "But where's the fountain?" Ah, poor girl. Her expectations were really high. A front lawn fountain that spewed chocolate would be something indeed!

Here's Mary's oldest, Sam, enjoying some treats:


And here's Abbie, who clearly reconciled herself to the true size of the fountain and still quite enjoyed herself:

And here's Clare, a little timid but eventually won over by strawberries and marshmallows coated in chocolate:

I realize now that there are no pictures of Sarah's family (well, that is Eric's hand holding a Madeline cookie about to dip it in the chocolate) and I'm sorry about that. They were there, too, I promise! In fact, when everyone was in the dining room enjoying the fountain I made a comment about how maybe this should become a spring break tradition and Sarah's oldest, Caleb, said, "How about an every other week tradition?" Now there's a boy after my own heart.

Don't be surprised if this fountain makes its way into many more parties!
