Canada Day BBQ With Friends

For 140, you certainly look grand!

K2 and I hosted a BBQ yesterday for some of our Adoption Buddies and it was so much fun to have everyone together under the same roof for one day! Rhonda and Josh, Catherine, Dolores and Shawn, Jill, Jaap and Adriana, Laurie, Jamie and Sophie and Doris traveled from as far as Montreal from the East, Mississauga to the West, and Simcoe County to the North in order to help us celebrate Canada Day, the end of the school year and to usher in the official start of summer. It was awesome!

...A Canadian is someone who knows how to make love in a canoe. Pierre Burton, historian...

Catherine mistakingly thought that dinner at our house meant that she would have to eat cereal and came prepared with a bowl, a spoon and milk "just in case". She's one funny girl!
We spent the afternoon under our sunshade in the backyard drinking fun drinks out of our "Kayak Koolers" and eating fun foods. The wind became chilly and after dinner, we moved it indoors to feast on dessert.
Rhonda and Josh brought a "K1 and K2" specially made cake for the festivities and everyone was amazed and awestruck by it. We have never seen such a thing and it was a task in itself not to drool all over it before digging in.
We were overloaded with sugar (and, really...what could be better?) as we dined on delicious cake, scrumptious Oreo Ice Cream Cake, and Candy Shish Kabobs. It was heavenly! Adriana and Sophie are the cutest and had a fun time playing in the Kayaks, watching Dora on the blow up bed in their PJs and in playing hide and go seek with Auntie K1. Fun girls!

We had a great time with everyone and hope to see one another very soon. Thanks so much for coming over and for spending a little of your long weekend with us! A big thanks to Doris and Daisy for traveling all the way from Montreal to attend our party! Our kitty and Daisy got more comfortable with one another on the second day of Doris' stay, but we were a little wary for the first few hours. Luckily, they are both laid back and easy going.
Hope everyone has a fantastic end to this lovely long weekend! Check out our password protected blog for pictures from the day.
