Country View Caribbean Party 2006!

Our annual Caribbean party was Friday, March 10th. It was a huge success! The residents were all decked out in their tropical gear and ready to have some fun! We brought the sunshine to the activity center by decorating it with palm trees, fish, sharks, monkeys, lights and much much more! The kids had a great time with their pirate hats and eye patches. They played games like "pin the patch on the pirate" and even went on a treasure hunt around the home! There was also a band that played under our large "cabana" umbrella. They played tropical music to set the mood and everyone sang along! The food was also great and kept everyone nice and full. See you next year!
