CANADA OH CANADA

One day of the year to celebrate our country, and thank God for the blessing of living in a land that is rich in education (even if we are fighting a lot of what is being taught and not taught), rich in medical care and availability, rich in cultures and other worlds, rich in freedoms (even if some freedoms are getting a little too 'free' and hurting individuals with their free-ness... i'm being redundant on purpose, really. :) haha)

Wow, it was a GREAT CANADA DAY. We spent the morning chillin' at home and making ourselves look Canadian. well, i suppose we looked more like a flag than a 'kind' of person... all red and white, and shaved funny . :)
Our friends' parents live by the beach, and open up their home for a huge bash every CanDay, so we went along this year and WOW!!!!!!! it was so much fun!!! people, food, lots of space to run and play, and then front row seats to watch the parade, right from their front yard! THANK YOU for letting us come crash the party!! :)
parade!!
waiting for CANDY!!! (what else???)
oh yeah... and then we sat down by their beach and enjoyed the water since it was a boiling hot day!! (no humidity though, so it didn't make me sick!!) :)

what a perfectly lovely way to celebrate the day!!! (but that isn't all!!)
