Rainbow Bananas

When I was little I spent a lot of time during the summers at Aunt Kim's house. Those memories are some of the fondest I have. We always had so much fun. I'm pretty sure that, even though there is 20 years between us, that I considered her more of a fun a big sister instead of an aunt. She always had fun things for us to do. We went to swim lessons, sno cone stands, and just in general had fun. 

One of the things I remember us doing was making rainbow bananas and marshmallows. We used pick up sticks to put them on. Anyone remember pick up sticks??

 I loved that game! But those plastic sticks made great kabobs for our rainbow treats. 

The girls and I didn't go that far, because frankly I wasn't sure if they would even like the rainbow bananas. And I didn't want to make a ton of them on huge kabobs if they weren't going to eat them. But we got all our stuff out and used tooth picks to put them on. 

Macie doesn't like marshmallows....or at least she said she didn't this day. So she just had bananas. 

Brenna was very serious about her banana coloring. Macie could have taken or left it. Story of our lives. 

They turned out just as pretty and vivid as I remembered! And- I'm not gonna lie- they tasted just as good as I remembered! But who wouldn't love a healthy banana rolled in artificially flavored and artificially colored sugar??

I love doing things with my kids that I remember doing when I was a kid! Brings out my inner child! And brings back great memories!!
