Love is... Oh Canada!

Great news! I have decided to break up our trip north to not only two posts... but three! Who wouldn't be excited for three posts about someone else's vacation? Don't dispair. If living vicariously through me isn't your thing, the last post is all about my cousin Jenny and her AMAZING style. You need to see it. It will change your life.

 We were so glad to finally get to Canada. The last stretch between Great Falls and Canada are an awful combination of boring and nothing. To pass the time we took turns asking each other this list of questions I found, thank to pinterest. Find it here

One of the questions was "Name your greatest fear and explain why". After some earnest thought, Ty responded " Well, I have this crazy fear of people breaking into my house or someone trying to kidnap you and Jude.... but I've played enough video games to know how to handle the situation". Sounds like I am in good hands. 

This adorable girl is named Charlotte. She packs a punch, the good kind. I just loved her. She is VERY entertaining and loves to be a part of the party. She was kind enough to watch over Jude ( or should I say "baby dude" for me. She was very good at it. In the background is baby Emmie. She is so cute. Jude was always trying to steal hear toys, but she took it stride. 

When Tyler woke up Sunday (July 1st) Charlotte greeted him with a "Happy Canana day". She was really excited all day to celebrate Canada day. She insisted that we sing "Happy Birthday" to Canada since it was, indeed, it's birthday. 

Jude was 99% sure that my Aunt Diane was actually my mom, Shauna. It is a common mistake that I made countless times throughout my childhood. Not only do they look alike, but also sound alike AND married men who look somewhat similar thus when they are all standing with their backs facing you... it's a heck of a time trying to pick the correct parent. 

 Our last day in Calgary, Jenny and Dave took us to a park in downtown Calgary. I have never actually been there so it was really awesome for all of us. 

 We put Jude in this little bowl type thing that uses gravity to continuously go in circles. Jude loved it. Another little boy got stuck though, and Dave had to rescue him.

 Calgary has super mosquitoes.   

 One of the many things I miss about Canada are their chips. I rarely eat them in the states because they never taste as good. I ate my weight in Pickle chips AND brought some back. They will be gracing our presence at Ike and Emmas cabin this weekend. 

Can I just say that I am so grateful we got to take this trip? It was much needed. I haven't seen my cousins and Canada in too long.
