INDEPENDENCE DAY THE CALGARY WAY!

Hank's favorite holiday is the 4th of July! When we realized that we would be spending our AMERICAN HOLIDAY in another country we were a little bummed. However, my Aunt Jeanne and Uncle Richard came to the rescue and got us tickets for the one and only CALGARY STAMPEDE! For those of you who don't know what the STAMPEDE is...it is 10 fun filled days of carnival, rodeo, barrell horse racing, and Hank's favorite...the mini donuts. We had a blast and since we were able to go on the 4th we also got an amazing firework show! So although we weren't able to celebrate the traditional way we definately had an amazing time in Canada. The Allen's were fabulous hosts and we are so excited to be able to spend time with them up in Calgary!


I think I found a job for next year!

He was in love, I don't know if he will be able to wait until next year!

Ridin' some rides

Barrell horse races!

For those of you who are wondering we found a place to live and will be making our departure on August 3rd!
