National Watermelon Day
Today is National Watermelon Day! Watermelon is a delicious summer fruit that has become a staple at family picnics and cookouts. Did you know that watermelons are 92% water? No wonder they’re so refreshing!
There are around 300 different kinds of watermelon in the U.S. and Mexico. You can find red, pink, white, and yellow varieties in various sizes and shapes. Watermelons are usually quite large, and many county fairs award prizes for the biggest ones. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the heaviest watermelon weighed 262 pounds.

To celebrate National Watermelon Day, have some watermelon for dessert tonight! Slice it up and eat it plain, cook it on the grill, mix it into a salsa, or blend it into a cocktail. Enjoy!
Tamika posts these cool calendars every month with unusual celebrations and I think its cool. I still wanted to share a card that I made for the occasion
Too cute! I love that you were inspired by the list of holidays. You know I was thinking no one ever reads it, lol. Where did you get that watermelon slice from? It looks juicy!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I agree with Tamika it actually looks like juice is running from it :>) I will have to let my kiddos know about the holiday!
