Our family and friends love avocados as much as we do so we were so excited to share a little fun with our own avocado in home party. We also served one of our own favorite recipes along with some delicious recipes with Hass Avocados. Since we just moved and our summer has been so hectic we loved the idea of just getting everyone together for a summer pool party. Where we can enjoy our family by the pool and just have a little fun and delicious food.
