For adults, suggested menus require sophisticated assistance, and the Beach Picnic wants kids to splurge on Pineapple-Kiwi Cooler, Crab Salad Sandwich with Tomatoes and Avocado in Homemade Pita Bread, Grilled Shrimp with Garlic, Spicy Corn and Tomato Salad, Green Beans with Ginger-Honey Dressing; Bitter-sweet-Chocolate Chunk Brownies.”
Kids are offered Pink Lemonade with Strawberries; Peanut butter, Apple & Bacon Sandwiches; Cherry Tomatoes with Clover-Honey Dressing; Ambrosia Fruit Salad; Caramel-Nut Popcorn; Candy Cookies.”
