Happy Canada Day!


Happy Birthday, Canada!!

Isn't it fun that we get to celebrate the birthday of our country?  And that we want to?  Imagine the people in countless other countries around our world and the fact that they can't celebrate and don't want to because of oppression and persecution.  We are so very blessed and it's a bonus to enjoy one of many celebrations across our great nation. 
Last night, Henry, Kierra, Dayna and I were able to head down to Vita to enjoy some rodeo activity.  There is no lack of horse activity in this province and our girls are always trying to get us to go somewhere.  So we watched some fun stuff at this gymkhana and here's one photo of the 'rope and tarp' part of the competition that the contestants enjoy! This is a young girl pulling her dad on the tarp - to the other end and then around the barrel. 
Later in the evening, like 11pm when it is finally dark enough we are treated to some fireworks. We are grateful for people here who graciously let us into their friendship circles without making us feel intrusive as we sit to enjoy the spectacular display.   This is the first time in ages I have tried to capture the fireworks with my camera and it was great!  Enjoy our ooos and aaaaws with us!!

It was a spectacular display in the dark night sky!
