Canada Day

 We arrived late to the Acreage last night after a long drive to pick up our new puppy! The children woke early and rubbed their eyes as they peeked into the rec room to check on the newest addition to our family. After sleeping on it, we all decided to name our little labrador retriever Tucker, and we are totally smitten with him! He has soft, creamy fur, a wet brown nose, and thoughtful green eyes. 

After many requests, Gramma and Finley put together a batch of pancakes to be enjoyed with homemade syrups and peanut butter.

 Hyrum spent most of his morning snuggled up with Tucker. These two are kindred spirits and it's so fun watching them together!

 There was a lot of napping today! With all the fresh air and extra space to run and play, everyone was pretty tired. Both of the little boys had at least two naps today which is almost unheard of!

 While we waited for the boys to wake up, Camilla and Hyrum helped pick strawberries! They taste so yummy and we can't help but snack on them all day!

 We spent the afternoon out at a family friend's enjoying a Canada Day BBQ. We got to visit with a lot of people and the littles really enjoyed the swings and trampoline. 

The rest of the afternoon it rained on and off. We enjoyed relaxing, snoozing, and playing with Tucker. It rained pretty hard late in the evening and we decided to forgo our plans to attend the fireworks. Some of us who were still awake watched them explode over the tree tops from the living room window. Happy Birthday Canada!
