Canada Eh!

Last weekend my family and I went up to Quebec to visit family and attend my grandfather's brothers 50th wedding anniversary party. It has been about 10 years since the last time I have been up there and it was nice to visit again. I love how much farmland there is in Canada! The ride there was great for sight seeing, hills and hills of farms and bails of hay and the cows and old barns, just beautiful!

This is a collage of some of my favorite canadian foods and some of the signs from town.

This is dad atop a hay bail... wish i could figure out how to do a slideshow of the images of him running and jumping onto the bail.. it was pretty funny.

This is the barn where my grandmothers brother makes maple syrup.

This is the same brothers cat... this cat was gorgeous and i love how they had him shaved to look like a lion

A cross my grandmothers brother put atop a mountain that is visible from his backyard.
