July Fourth

Dear Diary:

Today is once again our nations birthday. God Bless America...and No One ELSE! He He...Just kidding. God Bless Taiwan too.

This has been the best Independence Day EVER! First we went to the Parade. They called it the Provo Grand Parade...and now I know why. Boy did they have some neat...stuff. Take a look.
So they did some pretty tricky things for this grand parade. Take this picture for example. They brought some really old dead guys back to life. The only thing I don't understand is why that Brittish Drummer boy is walking right along side some American Minute Men. It's not right but it's Okay. Maybe he is a spy or something. Yeah ...That is it. He is an American spy who was caught in his acts of espionage and executed. He didn't have time to change out of his clothing in the time before the Parade started. And who can blame him. It isn't that easy to find those kind of clothes today.

For their next feat, the Parade organizers performed something incredible. Days earlier they sent a message to the Rebellion Command Center galaxies away, asking for of few of their more famous soldiers to make an appearance. Boy did they ever have a good turn out. And again, enemies were seen walking together. Storm Troopers, and Rebels were seen on the same street. And they weren't fighting. Only on Independence Day. I tell you what.
Next they actually took a baby and cooked it. This is what came what happened to that poor thing. You can just tell that they are not happy to be in that pot. I don't believe it. But the baby made it and the object in the next picture was not needed.

But it is still really cool that they had a hearse in the parade. It kinda killed the mood though. HAHA get it....Killed the mood. Ok whatever.
The best part of the whole thing was the Scottish Bands. I don't know but I think that my Scottish ancestry lives on in my blood. I love the whole Scottish thing. The Celtic music, the cool accents. Even the word Gaelic sounds awesome. If I weren't American i would definitely be Scottish. Which makes me wonder. Why are Scottish bands such a large part of the American Independence Day?
This was cool. This kid would pedal and the prop would turn and the wings would flap. Cool huh?

OH CANADA!!!!

So...did you ever wonder how Canada picked its name? Well, when it was first becoming a country people just started throwing out letters, "C-eh-N-eh-D-eh!"... GET IT? :)

Anyways, if you don't know what we're talking aboot, our honey moon in Canada was to us, like vanilla ice cream is to a root beer float. Amazingly scrumptious. We forgot to try ketchup chips, but we did go to church in Vancouver on Sunday and lo and behold they had a Chinese Sunday school class. It was awesome to be able to be in contact with the Asian nation again, and they actually told us they wished we could stay in the their ward, we wished they could come with us....but you know how it goes.
The mountains were beautiful, and steep, and we while we were hiking up the mountain we started a new tradition that has stuck with us on every other mountain we've hiked so far...we leave our mark on the mountain with sticks/rocks/whatever we can find. So next time your hiking a mountain in Canada....make sure to watch out for the our initials!
When we got to Vancouver Island our college student wallets kept telling us we had no money, and luckily our hotel had a kitchen, and we realized all we really need to live was love and mac 'n cheese.
We stayed in this port town where we saw this guy rockn' out in a one man band...we thought we'd join in.
