God Bless Canada!

While it was a whirlwind trip to Canada, it was an enjoyable one. Here are the photos of our celebration of Canada.

Historian made pancakes for our luncheon celebration.

Once again, Nana joined us for our party. The table is decorated with a Canadian flag, a bear and a wolf, three library books about Canada, a fishing motif table runner, and a pair of cut-out maple leaves.

Historian decided that making pancakes is fun!

Historian's "Canadian Blueberry Baked Dessert" was actually made with Michigan blueberries. Regardless, it was as delicious as it looks.

Given that Canada is our friendly neighbor to the north, we felt it would be fitting to serve Canadian bacon (Historian says that Canadians call it "peameal" bacon) alongside American bacon.

Nana took this rare photo of all five of the Smiths.


Historian kindly delayed digging in while I took this photo of his plate.
As the temperatures drop, we are thankful to be headed to warmer parts of the world tomorrow, if only in our studies. Look out Brazil! Here we come!

  1. Yes, we Canadians do call it peameal bacon and it is a favorite in our home. Hope you enjoyed your trip to Canada on the day Canadians celebrate their thanksgiving.
