Canada Day Eh!

This past weekend was spent with parades, bbq's, family, friends, swimming, fireworks, sparklers and just overall good memories.  Friends of ours that moved to another town made the trip up for the weekend and we enjoyed celebrating Canada's birthday with them.  There were activities in every town nearby.  The kids were completely tired out by the end of it.

We decided to go to the parade in a small little village that usually puts on a great parade.  We were not disappointed.  I didn't get too many pictures though because there were four wee ones under 4 that were running towards candy (but so was I, hey, it's exciting to get candy thrown at you!)








Sparklers to prep for the fireworks.


We also had a special delivery in the pasture that day.  We kept two cows at home that were going to calve at some point this summer and we recieved the first one on Canada Day so here is....



CANADA!!!!
Strike a pose!


The kids like having a new baby around.  Don't ask why Sadie is wearing her safety googles, I can't remember but it does make for a cute picture.


I don't blame Canada for hiding on the other side of momma when we are all around.

I hope all the Canadians and Americans that read this had a wonderful holiday weekend.

  1. Looks like you guys had a great weekend too. We had such beautiful weather for a change. Though yesterdays rain was needed.

  2. It's so true Paula! Plus the rain was a nice break from all the outside work, unfortunately I didn't get a whole lot done inside either. Sometimes Momma's just need a good day of doing nothing!
