Canada Week 3

July 1st was Canada Day. Canada day celebrates the signing (July 1st, 1867) of the British North American Act which united 3 colonies into a single new country called Canada. We went to my parents church that morning. Since it was a long weekend, there were a lot of people missing, but still some familiar faces I had not seen in a long time. The pastor gave all the kids little Canadian flags. For supper we planned a wiener roast again. Even though it was extremely hot and humid, we had a wiener roast.

We love having fires. My little pyro girl!

Even though there really were no mosquitoes (which was extremely rare for Manitoba) we still kept Megan under the net as long as she was happy

We completed the meal with homemade fudgesicles. We did not even crack out the "knock zote" (pronouced k-nock) aka: mennonite marijuana aka: Sunflower Seeds! It is a staple food for around the fire

Even mommy found one of her favorites!

Ketchup Chips! Sweet and tangy goodness! One of my take home staples to be conserved as long as possible.

We had some more rain on monday with a good thunderstorm in the afternoon. Since Nana and Papa live in the country, going outside in our pajamas and boots is acceptable.

Katelyn spent some alone time with Grandma when I ran to town or went to Winnipeg with a friend.

Megan spent a lot of time on this blanket

We spent some time during the week revisiting the sprinkler park one last time, going to Great Grandpa's again to play with Sephira and making a last run to the store for treats to take home and for the long drive back.

Katelyn made a tent and Grandpa joined her under there. It was quite comical to see a blanket and hear them singing the ABC's.Auntie had to get under there too.
