Canada Day!



 Hi Everyone,

Yesterday was Canada Day! There were heaps of flags on people's houses and almost everyone was dressed in red and white! We went to the parade that was being held and there were many cool costumes and people walking! Some beekeepers were even taking their bees for a walk using special carry hives! It was super cool. Here are some pics! 

Write more soon,

-Emily

    OMG, that would have been a really fun day. What a way to celebrate Canada Day. A little more exciting than sausages on the Barbie here in OZ 😜

Poisson d'avril!!!

Image
  Hi Everyone! Aprils Fools day was 3 days ago, but instead I celebrated Poisson d'avril! It's the French version of April Fools day and literally translates to "April's Fish"! You celebrate by sticking paper fish to people's backs and hiding them around the house. Sometimes adults give kids chocolate fish too! Here is a pic of a paper fish I hid in my dad's boot. He walked all the way into town before he realized 😂! Write more soon, -Emily P.S. The photo below is of a can after I put it up to a flame (for science). I made carbon (soot)!!!

Upcycled Shirt

Image
  Hi Everyone! Today my family went to the Blackcomb markets! I will write another blog post about the markets next week when I get some decent photos of the stalls. I got a cool upcycled shirt from a lady who redesigns them herself! What she does is she takes a second-hand shirt, dip-dyes the bottom part (with bleach I think), sews a cute patch on the top, adds another pocket from a different shirt and finally screen prints one of her original designs onto it! The design on my shirt is a mountain in Pemberton, I think. (Pemberton is another province 20 mins away) The other designs were dogs, roosters, horses, ferns and the dictionary definition of upcycled. All the animals were real animals! The horse lives up in Pemberton and is called Angel, I'm not sure about the other animals though. Write more soon, -Emily P.S. If you were wondering/wanted to look up this shop on Instagram the name of the shop is Endure

Lily's 12th B'day!!!

  Hi Everyone, Yesterday was Lily's 12th b'day!! She loved what I gave her, socks with ice-cream sandwiches on them and a bracelet that has a QR code that Lily can scan and track a giraffe on it! Her giraffe lives in Kenya. We ate pancakes for breakfast with syrup, whipped cream, fruit and dulce de leche.  We went to a soapstone (a really soft stone) carving class, and I made a tiny inukshuk and Lily made a book necklace. On the way there we saw a plant with very big leaves. Dad took a photo with my hand next to it. Then we ate some poutine and wings at the very first restaurant Mum and Dad ever went to in Whistler (it was in the year 2 BE (Before Emily :) ). We then went to the arcade and had a rematch at Mario karts! Lily won by HALF A SECOND!!!!!!! I WAS VERY CLOSE. Then we got pictures from the photo booth.  Lily's cake was a Nutella cream cake. It was devil's food cake with Nutella in the middle and on top was Nutella mixed with English double cream, strawberries a...
