I can't believe summer is coming to an end. It seems like every year, summer zips right by us. But, now that my girls are older and can do more things, we have been using the summers especially to enjoy firsts with them, including sleepovers with friends, being able to ride the rides at local amusement parks, and hosting friends for backyard parties and cookouts. And, this past weekend, the girls and their friends, as well as the parents, had a blast playing fun backyard games sent to us recently from the folks at Bazooka Candy Brands to celebrate the release of the new Baby Bottle Pop Cotton Candy flavor. :-)
Growing up, I used to always fill my bag at the candy store with Bazooka gum and other fun Bazooka Candy Brands candy. Did you have a favorite Bazooka candy as a kid? Hard to choose just one, right? I know...my mouth is watering just thinking about their flavorful candy.
But, back to our backyard party. Like I said, I was sent not only samples of the new Baby Bottle Pop Cotton Candy flavor for everyone to try, but also fun backyard games including ring toss and knock the cans down game. When the kids walked into our backyard, they could feel the fun carnival theme we had set up for the day. My dad was turning out cotton candy with his little machine, we had a popcorn station, fun carnival foods, and so many games, including the ones sent, for everyone to enjoy.
Before we let everyone enjoy the games and food, I made a point to annoucne the new flavor Baby Bottle Pop flavor and pass out samples for everyone to enjoy. It was fun to see the kids and adults (yes, we are all kids at heart), dipping and licking the pops covered in the cotton candy sugar. I even had a handful of guests ask if I had more, or if I knew where they could be bought so that they could stock up. I guess they were a hit! They were with my two girls, who couldn't stop dipping and licking, and taking breaks from the games to rest and get in a few more licks of their Baby Bottle Pops.
And, the best picture I captured was Bella sneaking a lick of Savannah's candy. :-)
While I could go on and about about fun backyard carnival themed party and how much we all loved the new cotton candy flavored Baby Bottle Pop, I will stop and give you all a chance to win a fun Carnival Prize Pack party of your own, thanks to the folks at Bazooka Candy Brands.
