We celebrated our last Canada Day here this year. We're planning on moving next year by the beginning of June. It was super fun. We celebrated in perfect Canadian style.
We dressed in our Canadian colors and t-shirts.
We got some tattoos. Don't ask me how a lizard and sun are patriotic but they chose what they wanted.
We let the girls pet some weird insects and creatures.
(Why do the tarantulas have jelly beans or good-n-plenty in their tanks?)
The girls got sparkle hair and red and white nail polish.
We ate some yummy carnival junk food.
We even rode our bikes to watch some fireworks. It was a little tricky because sunset wasn't until 11:00 p.m. So we made everybody take a long nap and then we all slept in the next day.
(I don't normally wear a reflective vest but I was riding my bike in the darkness on the way home.)
--Please note, we celebrated the 4th of July too. Just no pictures. A nice family in our ward invited all the Americans over for dinner (which meant us and the missionaries) and we had hamburgers, watermelon and even burned up some sparklers. It was super nice of them and fun for the girls. And of course I enjoyed listening to my favorite Mo-Tab c.d. "God Bless the USA" which Greg can only handle one day/year. He's such a scrooge sometimes.

I don't understand why Canada Day is so close to the Fourth of July? Seriously, Canada wants to be America.
Can't believe the girls handled bugs! A tarantula,no less. Must be genetic, Julie. Remember how Carlie would scream as you chased her around with rolly-pollies and grasshoppers. I can hear her screaming when she sees these pics. -- Mom
Love the celebratories... it's crazy to think that Chloe will probably remember celebrating O Canada Day when she grows up.
Looks like you all had a great time with Canada days and it was good that you did get to celebrate the 4th along with usens down under.
