Canada Day

This year Canada Day was on Sunday so some celebrations were on Saturday and some on Monday.

First, we went to the parade in Hill Spring. It is a quality small town parade where they go down Main Street and then back down Main Street again.

Then we stopped in Mountain View for the kids games. They ran a few races and Carly got knocked down in the tug of war. Then we went to Remington Carriage Centre because they had advertised there was going to be a carriage parade. It turns out there was no parade, but we did go on a warm-up carriage ride with Grandpa Buck. 

On Monday, we went to Raymond to watch their Canada Day parade. It was fun but it was a cool, windy day. The whole weekend was cold and windy. Dang the southern Alberta sometimes.

Austin told me that he wants someone to play bagpipes at this funeral.

Uncle Rod plugs his ears when the fire trucks go by and run their sirens. Last year he brought ear plugs, this year he just plugged his ears. He will probably have the best hearing when we are old:)

My new ministering sisters (Kim Weston and Lakeisha Forsyth) brought me a cake for the 4th of July since I was an American and missing the holiday. It was so thoughtful and delicious. 

Jill's ministering sisters brought her a Canada Day treat since she was missing her Canadian holiday.
