Canada Day!


We had a great Canada Day party! I made this Canada flag cake and cut up lots of fruit, and did veggie kabobs (including zucchini from our garden!), potato packets, asparagus, and salad. Alfie grilled burgers and brats. Friends brought raspberry lemonade, frosted fruit salad, chips, and maple leaf cookies. I put together a Canada trivia quiz which was a lot of fun, and we had Canadian candy sampling. All the Canada decorations were out!

One of my favorites from the trivia quiz:

During the vote to rename the eastern part of the Northwest Territories, which name came in 3rd?

Answer: Bob

Looks and sounds like your Canada day celebration went very well and you all had alot of fun! We did a Canada day breakfast at the museum, and went and spent the afternoon at the fort. It was great! Now you have a year to plan for the next one
