Red Is For Canada: Drinks, Fruit and Animals?

By Nadia V. (Mama and the City)

Red is for Canada, and starting early last week it was present to celebrate Canada Day.

1. Blissdom in Vancouver Tweetup #YVRBliss. Last week I was honored to be part of this tweet-up event. There was a lot of delicious food, I kid you not – we got thirds of everything, drinks included. I even think I looked stupid holding two kind of drinks.

Finally got to meet Nina from ninaonthemoon.com
2. Berry picking at my in-laws. While these won’t feed us all year long, they are always fun to see grow and why not, eat.
Raspberry family.
Love is all around us, even at the level of a hanging basket. Can you spot the ant?
Strawberry couple. Strawberry love.

3. Petting zoo at Queens Park in New Westminster. Although there is not much red in here, I managed to show a hint of red at least. The petting zoo was such a great hit with the toddler I think I will be going back again.

Petting zoo, a great hit with the kids. Please remember to be kind with animals.

I wished I could have attended more events around the city. But, with the toddler being so picky and impatient these days I need to make sure activities are of her like, sigh. So at least my sanity is in check during the short hours outside.

Fellow Americans, I can’t wait to see what you do July 4.

Note: photos taken with iPhone 5 and posted in Instagram. I love love love using Instagram, are you there yet? come and say hi . Also, don’t forget Google Reader retired as of July 1. Make sure to use alternative readers to keep track of your blogs (hopefully you add this blog too).
