Last time I checked it was Victoria Day long weekend and now it’s Thursday. 12 sleeps away from Canada Day. Where does the time go?
Speaking of Canada Day, we’ll be going to our Friends place where we head every year. We spend the day swimming in the pool, playing games, getting caught up, feasting on a Potluck dinner while sitting around the fire, watching fireworks go off and being treated to live entertainment. Wouldn’t miss it for the world except when we almost did. This year, I’m bringing appetizers and I’m going to liven things up a notch.
We’re Going to Party with Wholly Guacamole and Salsa!
Since we spend four months a year in Southern Mexico, I feel like I know a thing or two about guacamole. And, I think Wholly Guacamole knows a thing or two as well. I loved that there were small chunks of avocado throughout. Who has time to puree it smooth. Besides, who would want to? Except for the lack of onion bites and avocado pits, it tasted fresh out of a Mexican kitchen. I was impressed and will continue to serve it to my friends and family.
As for the salsa, I’ve tried the Medium and have heard great things about the Hot. I bet it has bite. I might just have to switch up the packages on “Uncle Mike” and make him think he has the mild. If he gets upset, I’ll just remind him that if I was really trying to trick him, I wouldn’t have written about it right here. What can he do, admit that he doesn’t read my blog? Gotcha Uncle Mike!

Canada Day we will have a BBQ.
We plan on spending the day together as a family. Parks Canada has special events going on at Fort George in Niagara on the Lake for free. We went last year and it was a lot of fun so we might go back. We’re hoping to see the fireworks at Niagara Falls this year.
Dear Kirsten,

Our plans for Canada Day is camping! Yah! Summertime!
We have a whole Canada day tradition. We have break and get dressed in our reddest outfits and head to the parade. We meet up with Nana and Grampa and set up our chairs. Since we live in a small community we usually end up meeting lots of friends and family. After the parade we head back to Nana and Grampa’s for lunch, back home for a nap and then a BBQ. When it is dark we end our day by driving to our secret fireworks viewing spot. It is always a good day.
