Easy Peasy

If you haven’t been to the exciting new Gator Run lazy river at Audubon Zoo, put this magazine in your bag and go there now!

We decided to host a few friends for the afternoon and rented one of the cabanas, which are only $75 for the day. I placed a centerpiece at the front that I put in one of the floats that you use for the river ride, so everyone would know where to go.

I brought my own fold-up six-foot-long table and decorated it with a blue-and-white striped cloth. On the cloth I placed single Celebration vases (available at BeverlyChurch.com) filled with lilies, roses, gerbera daisies and blue delphinium.

I brought my own serving pieces for the food, but the Zoo can do everything; we had fried chicken, a salad and ice cream treats for dessert. For the adults they offer hurricanes and daiquiris, but you can order wine if you’d prefer.

I bought cute striped towels from the shop at the Cool Zoo to give to each guest as a favor.

Be sure to tell everyone to dress casually and bring a bathing suit, because you’ll definitely want to go for a ride – or two.
