Canada Day Festivities

 Our Canada day was pretty chill this year. Mr. Stannix and the littles came grocery shopping with me in the morning. It was sure nice to have his muscles for all of the heavy bags and the big jug of water! After lunch and some biking, we went to the mall for a few hours. Mr. Stannix was in desperate need of some new jeans and tees. Thanks to Naomi and her fabulous fashion sense, Mr. Stannix ended up with some stuff that he really liked! We then met up with Uncle Arland at the festivities in Millwoods and baked in the glorious sun. The only thing the kids really wanted to do (that was free) was go to the petting zoo. We stood in this ridiculously long line-up, but it ended up being sort of worth it. 

 This little guy always loves hanging with his uncle!

 These Llamas were Chilean and reminded me of the toy one Uncle Arland sent us from his mission.

 Joe was in love with this yak...

 They kept everything pretty clean considering all of the animals that were running around.

 Daddy had to help Joseph pet this guy.

 And the bunnies were a huge hit.

 This little guy was just the cutest!

 We then joined up with some friends for a BBQ. The food was great and so was the company!

 Joseph chilled here and ate his watermelon for a while. Once we got the kids into dry clothes, we went inside to wait for the fireworks. The kids ran around the house like a bunch of over-tired crazies. Eventually we decided to go get a spot for the fireworks and let the kids be crazy there!

 Our kiddos sure love these guys!

 Since we never made it back to the house to grab sweaters, Daddy let Mr. H borrow his.

 Love these handsome boys!

 The fireworks were pretty great! My camera really doesn't do them justice.

 Hyrum was in awe pretty much the whole time.

 Joseph woke up half way through and I pulled him out of his stroller for a snuggle. I'm not sure if he was shivering because he was cold or because he was afraid. He really had no reaction. I guess that's what happens when you get kept up four hours past your normal bedtime.

 Ohh...ahhh... Uncle Arland and Auntie Naomi also joined us for the show!

Happy Canada Day!
