Canada eh?

Last Summer, we went on a trip to Canada. My parents were serving a mission there and they were going to be celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary while they were gone. Some of my parent's friends up in Canada decided to throw them an Anniversary party. So me and my brothers and sisters and our kids all drove to Canada to surprise my Mom and Dad on their anniversary. I know it sounds like a long trip, and it was, but it was only a 12 hour drive to where my parents were. Anyway, I was just looking at these pictures and some of them are so cute, I wanted to post them.

On our way to Canada, we stopped to see Glacier National Park which was amazing (I will have to do an entirely separate post for those pictures). Then we drove to Waterton which is the North end of Glacier, but it's on the Canadian side.

This was us in Waterton. We stayed there one night with my brother Doug and his family. Doug rented our each of our families one of these cart thingys. They were so fun! We just pedaled along and we could cart our whole family around the town.




SURPRISE!!! This is the Anniversary Party. My parents are just walking in and they are seeing most of my family for the first time in 16 months!


Here my parents are cutting their cake. Happy Anniversary!


We had a couple of days to spend with my parents after the party so they showed us the sights of Taber, the city they lived in. This part of Canada is FLAT and it's all farmland. They are famous for their corn. So we got to check out some pretty cool farm equipment. This tractor is ENORMOUS!!! It's hard to tell how big it is in the picture. The wheels alone, were way taller than me. These kinds of tractors each cost MILLIONS of dollars. They've got a lot of corn to harvest! My boys loved riding in it. And Nate loved driving it!

Here is some of my family hanging out on a 4-wheeler at the farm. Is there a limit of how many people can ride at a time???

Left to right- Emily, Amberly, Brenda,Kami, Sue, Spencer, Preston, Matt, Blake, Aubrey, and Tanner.

It was a fun trip. Mostly because we got to hang out with my family. I love doing things like this with my family and we don't get together very often so it's fun when we do. And my parents loved seeing all of us. It was a fun surprise. And thanks to my brother Doug, who took all of these pictures for us. Nice photo skills!
