Canada Day

It was so much fun being in Canada for Canada Day! We had the opportunity to go back to the town we lived in before moving to San Diego. It is so small it is actually not considered a town, but is technically a village. YES, that is right... a VILLAGE! I am from a VILLAGE :) The Village of Rosemary to be exact.  To give you an idea, in 2006 the population size was a whopping 388!
There isn't a hospital in Rosemary so I was actually born in Brooks, which is about 30 km away from Rosemary. Anyways we went to Rosemary for Canada Day because they have this fun little parade down the Main Street (pretty much the only street)... IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! There is just something special about small towns. It was fun for my parents because so many people they know still live there. They kept running into people and there was alot of hugs and memories exchanged. It was fun. I had a lot of people coming up to me and remembering me as a baby and babysitting me etc. It was just a great afternoon! It was fun to see the house we lived in... and I remembered where my old room was and looked in the window and you would not believe it! THE SAME WALL PAPER WAS UP! I understand it is total stalker status to look into someone's house but it was my old room and I just couldn't resist. I could have died seeing that the people hadn't changed the little polka dot dog wall paper I so dearly remember in my bedroom. That means these people have left up the wallpaper.... are you ready? For 18 YEARS! Okay wow.

Anyways the parade was great, and we got to see some farm animals, and the kids were all dressed up in their Canada Day attire and were loving it all! It was a fun day :) Now if only there hadn't been so many dang mosquitoes it would have been nearly perfect.

Here is what Rosemary looks like...

Here is me standing outside of the tiny hospital I was born at...

Me and Hayley were READY TO GO!

The local kids hanging out by the hip and happening General Store... oh yeah.

Bored because the parade went around twice... probably because it was so short to begin with haha :)

This is the first house I ever lived in and these windows were to my bedroom (which still had my same wallpaper up!) they literally haven't touched the house since we left... paint and all.

I thought my Dad looked rather festive :)

The Grand-kids were just ADORABLE :)
