happy birthday canada

today was a great day for us.. we took sam down to the canada day parade downtown and there we met up with patria (my cousin), her boyfriend shawn and gabe. we spent the afternoon with them, and had supper at dolan's downtown.

after we ate at dolan's we took the kids to o'dell park to let them play for awhile...it was going to be quite a challenge to keep them up for the fireworks after being outside all day!

got a great shot of the family... they wanted one to send to grampy copp (or uncle danny to me) over in germany
it's a typical copp family picture... not anyone looking normal, and there's always someone who doesn't look at the camera

we decided to watch the firworks from the northside.. it was a great night.. a little buggy and a bit chilly but the boys loved the fireworks and didn't sleep till we got them in the car!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA!
