Canada Day & the 4th of July






We get to celebrate 2 great holidays from 2 great countries in July! July 1st is Canada Day and July 4 is Independence Day in the US. We had a fun BBQ , complete with Canadian "All Dressed" chips and Nanaimo Bas and with s'mores and fireworks in Richard and Kimberly's back yard, they have such a cute new house and it has a fire pit in the backyard, perfect for roasting marshmallows. The kids absoloutely loved it!!!
On the 4th we had everyone over to our house for yet another BBQ and swimming too. We had a blast in the pool, and then the winds picked up, or should I say, the hurricane blew in! We packed up everything and headed inside for the rest of the night It calmed down in time for fireworks, Josh's favorite. He loves the 4th because the next day is his birthday! It was a fun day both days!!!

Did I see that you posted at 11:00 at night? What are you, a Dyer?? Ha ha. Don't look at what time I normally post!! Looks like a fun holiday! Richard and Kimberly's place sounds fun. Isn't it great to live close enough to family to get together for these things? I sure wouldn't want it any other way!
