Summer Fun

 This summer we weren’t super social.  Our oldest graduated in June, so we had a small celebration for him.  We always throw a big Canada Day bash, and we hosted a small end of summer pool party.

Other than that, we mostly enjoyed the heat and sunshine alone. I spent a lot of time in my oasis floating and reading (I just finished my 35th book of the year)!

One of my favourite additions to our household last year was the Ninja Slushi (affiliate link) that my husband purchased me for Christmas.  I made many batches of frozen lemonade this summer. It was super refreshing in the heat and humidity.  The original reason he bought it for me was to make daiquiris.  However, I found out that while it does have a “spiked slush” option, it doesn’t make alcoholic drinks super slushi. It’s much better to use the non/alcoholic liquid and add in after. I typically just used it for frozen lemonade.  Sometimes I would add a splash of amaretto and have my own version of a frozen amaretto sour!
