Orange Trap

A couple of days ago, Trevor started weaving a tale about a new and fabulous (imaginary) restaurant called "Orange Trap". Orange Trap, he told us, was great because they had lots of different foods and drinks made from oranges. The main thing that set Orange Trap apart from other places, though, was its dessert policy. You see, at Orange Trap, you were allowed to eat dessert even if you hadn't finished all of your dinner.

Both Clara and Trevor got very involved in developing the concept of Orange Trap, and they dreamed up all kinds of interesting facts about the place. For one, it is located in the trees next to a waterfall in Hawaii. Sounds nice, I must say. It also turns out that the "Traps" are a franchise, and Orange Trap is the best one. Apple Trap is a distant second, followed way down the line by Banana Trap, Onion Trap, and Skunk Trap.

While in the process of making decisions about dinner tonight, Trevi asked if we could eat at Orange Trap. So, we did.
Clara made each customer a menu, a word search, and a coloring page.
Trevor had fun with food coloring, making orange vanilla pudding, and orange milk.
Clara was the manager, interior decorator, hostess, and server.
We managed to scrounge up a lot more orangish food than I would have thought possible.
Orange Trap was a big hit. If they decide to open a Skunk Trap next week, though, I'm going out for burritos.
