Canada Day

We had a great day of celebrating in our neighborhood! We started by decorating bikes and then a big parade with all the kids riding around with the fire engine bringing up the rear. Bouncy castles, balloons, face painting, dancing, food, and a new skate park were all part of the celebrations.
The kids were most excited about the balloon man. They kept going back when their animals would pop in the grass.
My favorite part was the native dancing. The invited everyone to join in at the end for a group dance. It was so fun (with ShiShi and The Babe).

Later that night we all headed back to the park for fireworks. I have to say that I've never been closer to fireworks before! It's pretty exciting. And loud!
It was nice to have so many festivities right in our community. A great celebration. Happy Birthday Canada!

Meanwhile, Back At The Ranch...

Animals and mud. A great time was had by all!
I think cows are funny.
The Bug is a horse whisperer. He has a kinship with animals and bugs. Ha.
It was a special place to spend some time.

A Girl and Her Horse

When you have a beautiful girl with a fantastic dress AND a horse you have to take pictures...YES! I think it's a rule actually. Although we couldn't fit it all in on the day of her grad, so we planned it for a few weeks later. I'm so glad we did.
(the kids had a great time too, even in wind and the mud...or maybe because of? anywhoo, I got some great pics of them too, for another post ;)
