happy Canada day!

Thursday ... July 1 ... Canada Day ... and this year, we were in Canada to celebrate it! And celebrate we did, despite the Canada rain throughout the day ... we had a full day of fun! Mary & I left the boys with all the girls so we could get a little shopping done ... we were on the hunt for some cute Canada Day shirts for the girls. (Mary had already been looking for us, but hadn't found anything for all 4 girls' sizes before we arrived.) We tried a couple of stores with no luck ... and then hit The Children's Place and scored ... super cute matching "Canada Rocks!" t-shirts for all 4 girls in all 4 sizes ... and they were on sale ... double score!

We got decked out in our Canada shirts, colors ... and Canada tattoos ... and headed to the block-party for a little outdoor fun. There were several businesses that had set up different booths for all the kids to make crafts, play games & win prizes ... there were 2 live bands playing and Hannah even showed us her dance moves!

Canada rain, but Kendall had a fun time sporting

After an afternoon nap for Kendall & Kylie, we all went over to Huni & GranGran's new Canadian home for the happy Canada Day party! They had reserved the game room in their building, so we had a big room for all the kids to play & enjoy dinner ...

happy 14 months old and
happy Canada day!

happy Canada Day from my family to yours!

(Kylie was ready to eat & had strapped herself into her chair
that was still on the floor and she didn't want to get out of it,
so we moved her to the couch for a picture & then she ate!)

After dinner, we spent the rest of our time in their condo having dessert, looking through lots more pictures, baby books of Ashley & Brandon, sports articles & memorabilia and watching the fireworks!  We had a great time spending the day at Huni & GranGran's to celebrate Canada Day!
