Don't think the kids that age would be interested in the tuna salad or
deviled eggs - I am sure the adults would eat them though! The other
stuff sounds fine. Kids generally love hot dogs so that might be a good
idea too.

The food sounds good. But as for the alcohol... if it's a kids' party at
noon, I don't think the parents would expect it anyway, so you could
probably give it a miss. And considering it's a swimming party, I think
the adults would understand, not to mention the fact that they will
probably have to drive their kids home afterwards.
