I sent them to the South Platte River Environmental Education school day off camp. This awesome organization educates children in a hands on way about the River, it's role in Denver's history and nature in the city. The kids' attend programs every year through their school and we also did a Spring Break camp last year. It is really an awesome way to spend vacation days, learn something and have fun!
In honor of both Columbus Day and spending the day on the River I made these lunches:
Pita bread boats with Salami, Pepperoni and lettuce inside held together with a person pick
The water is more pita colored blue with a food safe marker
The sail is a piece of celery with thick sliced ham
On the upper right is a cucumber boat with a carrot mast
The lower right is an apple boat with a pretzel mast and a pilgrim pick waving
There are more pretzel masts in the utensil compartment
The hubby left today to go to a course in San Jose for the whole week. He went with me to take the kids to their camp and then I took him out to the airport before heading to work. I decided this morning as I was making the kids' lunches that I would make him a lunch to take on the plane. So the first hubby Bento lunch!
I made it in a cleaned strawberry container with a napkin for a liner.
Every thing was disposable so he didn't have to worry about throwing it away.
Along side was a yogurt because it didn't fit inside the container and I wanted to be sure he had enough to eat and didn't have to buy any airport food.
I lined the container with a napkin and put two cupcake liners in with cucumber slices
I lined up apple wedges along the side and then filled in the extra space with some grape tomatoes
On top of the cucumber slices I put two more cupcake liners filled with cheese and ham roll ups
A mini cupcake liner was wedged into the apples and filled with almonds
Then I folded up the napkin over it, put in a spoon for the yogurt and a love note :)
I hope he enjoyed it!
Thanks for reading!
