The Run Down
As I was trying to catch up the blog on the end of school and our summer vacation, it occurred to me that I haven't done a run down since we moved to Canada. So, here's all the highlights from school functions, Canada Day, Kids Fest, the beautiful scenery, and random stuff that we've experienced since we've been here!

The End of School…..Finally!
This school year was especially long for us. With some of our friends in the US getting out as early as mid-May, we started to see happy hot summer activities popping up all over Facebook and Instagram long before we could even anticipate the end of school. We continued until the end of June. But, those last two week were full of school fun!
Brenna made her stage debut in her classes presentation of Chicken Little! Brenna was the cat! The play was highly anticipation, especially since they had been practicing since our arrival in Canada. The class made their own masks and settings for the play. It was very entertaining to hear the kids practice, get nervous, and excited when the big day finally arrived. I could not have been more proud or entertained to watch Brenna act out her role! Unfortunately, I had no idea what she was saying since the entire play was in French! Lucky for me, one of my new friends sat next to me and interpreted the key parts! It has been amazing to see just how quickly Brenna is learning the language! She's even been teaching me. Thanks to her I can count to 10 in French! She's also already picked up a bit of Canadian slang that she now uses without thought. For instance, instead of bathroom it's washroom, you should sit on your bum, and don't forget to throw your trash in the bin! I laugh only because to me it all sounds so unusually coming out of her mouth. She may shake off some of this southern accent after all.
