Canada Day

Well today is Hannah first experience with a Canada celebration. We decided to partake in the local festivities down by the river's edge, along the way we got to watch the parade and met half the town on the side of the roads. Town is so small that literally every road we travelled on was closed at some point. Hannah got to see her first petting zoo. She didn't pet the animals however, but watched as the chickens tried to escape and we all got a good laugh out of the girl trying to catch them. Needless to say being new to the Pioneer Days/ Canada day celebrations here in town we should have ate (got in line at least) as soon as we arrived at the festival grounds, because by the time we decided to eat so had everyone else in town. I got my mini donuts at least on our way to the truck. The excitment (plus getting up at 6:15) must have done Hannah in because by the time we made the 10 min drive home she was passed out cold (I'll include pictures when I figure out how to.)

My uncle Lloyd and Aunt Bev arrived in time for a late supper. Aunt Bev got her first look at Hannah in the flesh. They stopped in only for a little while, passing through from Ontario on their way to Newfounland for a holiday. Nice visit.
