Canada Day Part 1

Day 2

Woke up.

Listened to the kids play downstairs.

Got them and me Breakfast.

Bathed kids.

Showered.

Went to a hot dog sale for this cutie...

This is Kash, his mom is a friend of Deb's (a friend of mine!). He has to wear this helmet for 6 months to reshape his head. It is very expensive so Deb thought as a church we should put on a hot dog sale at our local grocery store to raise funds to help with the costs. So, we went and got some hot dogs, met Kash and enjoyed being able to support this family.

Then we headed down to Mark Creek to watch the annual Duck Race.

They load up a front end loader with rubber ducks and send them down the creek! The kids loved watching them race down the creek!

Gracie was even brave enough to save some that were caught and release them back into the race.

On a more serious note, there was a real life rescue just about to happen just after I snapped the above picture.

A mother on a bike with her child being pulled behind in a Chariot fell over the bank of the creek and tumbled towards the rapids. Thankfully, some very quick men ran over to help, scaled down the bank and helped her and her child back up. Very thankful that God protected them and no one was seriously hurt.

All this action and Canada Day is not even over yet! Next on our agenda.. A Wedding! We are heading out this afternoon to celebrate as Paul marries Kyle and Ellen. Should be fun, the kids are coming with us there too! Hope you are all having a great Canada Day too! Part 2 will have some of the wedding fun we will have!
