Oh Canada!

We had fun celebrating Canada Day with a couple of our Canadian friends, Krista-Dawn & her son Judah. We dressed for church for the occasion: Katy wore a cute onesie (courtesy of her Auntie Lauren) that says, "Canadian Girl." My shirt said "Everybody loves a Canadian girl." And Benji pulled out a red T-shirt... since of course he has to celebrate the country that gave him his 2 favourite girls! Krista-Dawn met us at church with a gift of Canadian balloons and paper tattoos, and we made plans to go out for dinner together. So once Katy had her afternoon nap, we had fun getting ourselves all tattooed up! Then it was off to Aqui's to eat, where we met up with lots of River friends, and Krista-Dawn brought along extra tattoos so our American friends could show their appreciation for their neighbour to the North. Since Benji tattooed "I love Canada" to his forehead, we let him come along. :) We had a great time at dinner, where Katy devoured black beans for the 1st time. Then we walked across the street for some very yummy icecream at a local shop that has been around for over 50 years. They had little kids chairs outside, so Katy loved her pink princess chair! It was a very fun day. And we're looking forward to another visit to Canada at the end of the summer - we'll be in Moose Jaw from Aug. 28th to Sept 4th. So if you happen to be in the area, we hope to see you then!
Katy a mess but happy after eating MANY black beans!

Happy Canada Day! I'm so sorry for not saying anything when you called. I was still tipsy from not celebrating my wedding. Such cute pictures :) Tio David and Auntie Sharon will also be proud of you all joining the tattoo train.
