How To Eat a Rainbow

We’re baaaaaaaack! The kids and I spent 11 days in NY visiting family. Fun time. Kevin was on a mission trip in Ecuador. Blessed time.

I saw this fruity rainbow in a recent issue of Family Fun magazine. (We don’t subscribe to Family Fun, but they have some neat craft and activity ideas.

EDIT: As of October 2010, we do subscribe to Family Fun. I got a 12-month subscription for only $2 through US Airways. So far, I like it–great craft, game, activity, travel ideas. This is a Disney magazine, so if you boycott Disney, you probably won’t want to get it :-) .

So how did they eat their rainbow? One color at a time, inside out.

I tried to go against the flow and sneak a strawberry, and they screamed, “NO!”

I can’t believe they ate almost the entire rainbow in one sitting. (I ate about five pieces.) All they left was a few strawberries.

Enjoying lots of delicious fresh fruit is one of our favorite things about summer!

    I was just telling my youngest, Nicholas, that fresh fruit is one the of the things I really love about summer. I made us a fruit salad out of some fruit today. Yummy! :)

      I also like fruit salad, but my kids are very picky about foods being mixed, so this is a good alternative to fruit salad. :-)

    Soooooo beautiful! Very cheerful! I must make one before the summer ends.
    A birthday rainbow instead of a birthday cake would be wonderful!

      All of it was organic except for the pineapple. Whole Foods had organic pineapple, but it wasn’t cut up, and I didn’t feel like cutting it!

    So cute! I would have to use peaches though, my girls aren’t crazy about cantaloupe. Actually, I could replace it with carrots even, and they’d like it better than cantaloupe. :) I already have strawberries, peaches, pineapple, I might just run out to the store and get grapes and make this tomorrow – thanks for the idea!
