Canada Day - Yes, Summer posts in November. :)

Canada was full of fun events this year. We started out the day with some community celebration in a nearby park. Elijah especially liked the firetruck, where as Yumi and Charlotte enjoyed the face painting.

Yehyeh got tired after the walk and took a rest in the wagon. :) Elijah played with the diggers and Charlotte played with the new ribbon wand that she was given.

Yumi and Elijah also posed for a nice picture. Charlotte wasn't interested. :)

Later on that day we enjoyed a backyard BBQ with our friends Peter and Val. They invited us to come over early and go on a "little" hike near their house. Well, what's little for them turned out to be over an hour long hike on interesting terrain with the kids. However, we made it all the way in good spirits and I was amazed at how well Charlotte did! Quite the troopers, our kids!
