Canada Day

For Abby's very first Canada Day, we spent the weekend with the family in London.  It was great for A to spend time with her Grandparents and her cousins, her Aunts and Uncles.  She was a very good girl (except for the first night!) - despite being carted around everywhere and being out of routine.  We spent a lot of time outside, enjoying the weather.

Park time with Gramma Di and Levi, Amaya and Ben (Gramma and Grampa's house was under construction - according to Levi, due to carpet removal/replacement)

Scott and Vero were also in London with Gonzo - introducing Gonzo to his extended family.  D spent much of the weekend riding, running and swimming with Craig in Muskoka in preparation for his half-ironman - but he did make it into London for a family BBQ and Canada Day.  As Nana Cheryl and Papa Chris's house was full of people and dogs - it was fun to spend time outside in the perfect weather.  I like to call the next series of photos Doggy Daycare.  Abby loved lying outside looking up into the big tree in the Harding's back yard.  Molly and Gonzo were amazing with Abby.  They sniffed and licked her, but then just wanted to be close.  

There was no coaxing on my part to get the pups to lay here... just wanted to be close

A seems to be enjoying her Doggy Daycare!

I love how A is checking out G here

"You smell funny, tiny human!"

Molly on duty

Happy Puppies!

She really wanted her Uncle J's phone!

We have to make sure every house has a jumping apparatus - as she loves to bounce!

Hanging out with the Ottawa Hardings!

Love how Molly decided she wanted to be in our photo too!

Happy Canada Day!

And yes - I am going to be one of those parents that dresses their child in holiday specific attire.  At least for her first experience of each holiday (although, I was sporting my Maple Leaf shirt for Canada Day!).
