A Popsicle Pool Party

VIA

Milly’s birthday is next week, and for the first time I haven’t had a party planned out for months.  In the past we’ve had her celebration with her cousin, who is 2 days older, the strawberry party here and here, and the swan party and I spent a lot of time and craftiness on her first birthday.  But this year we decided to do them separate and keep it a bit more casual.  She wanted a pool party.  A “girls only” pool party.  So I figured we’d just get some popsicles her current favorite treat and have some girls over.  But then I started looking for inspiration.  I shouldn’t have done that…

Some Otter Pops from Walmart just don’t have the same effect, now do they?  So I’m trying to figure out how to make the afternoon a bit prettier and more personal.  There are wonderful ice cream and snow cone shops in Kansas City, but not any gourmet popsicle places.  I had thought about getting some Mexican popsicles from Tropicana Paleterias, but I think I can make something a bit prettier myself.  If I place an Amazon order in the next day or two I’ll be attempting to create some tasty treats.  Early or late start, I just can’t seem to avoid the chance to make it our own.

Any great popsicle recipes out there?
