O Canada

I had no idea that Brian knew the words to the Canadian National Anthem!  He sung them to us as we entered Canada.  Incredulous, I asked him how he knew the words.  I should have known.....  He has been to so many Bruins games over the years, and there are lots of Canadian hockey teams in the NHL!  Though a proud and patriotic citizen of the USA, he learned to sing
O Canada!
Glorious and Free!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

(now that I googled the Canadian National Anthem, I see that the "anthem" Brian sung may have been influenced by the alcohol intake of the Bruins fans around him.  His version isn't quite the same.  Oh well, he still impressed me....)




The Bay of Fundy, New River Provincial Park, New Brunswick






In addition to good family fun, there was plenty of fighting on our trip too!  It's great to see Megan can hold her own.





We found 21 sand dollars in the Bay of Fundy this year.  Daddy taught Conor how to spot them and Conor found most of them.
