Canada eh?

The grand finale of our summer... CANADA!!! Yes I, Haley Anderson, got to be the person who crossed the border for the first time with Trevor. HaHa and oh what an adventure it was. One of my cousins that I adore with all my heart was getting married! And they just happened to be Canadians. How could we resist the trip? So we hopped in a mini van along with grandma and Aunt Tonya, placing our lives in the hands of Uncle Tim and Bud. 12 hours later we were in Canada! And trev discovered that it's a lot like the states, just with more fields and cooler temperatures. The first day we were there we got to go to the Cardston Temple, and attend the session where Tiff took our her endowments. It was so special to us! Much too emotional though, reminding me of when I got to go through and how amazing it is for the first time. Then, because we only had two days there we decided to do some sight seeing. We all settled on Waterton National Park. Driving right into the park we came across a Black bear in the middle of the road! It was like animal planet in 3D baby, only better because it was real life! Later we saw another bear as well! We did everything we could including eating 2 of the finest hotdogs in canada, the famous waterton Weiners. they actually were quite delicious. And of course, we had to stop at the Welch's chocolate shop!

Grandma and Aunt Tonya decided to shop around in all the boutiques main street had to offer. Pretty much the only thing trev found entertaining were the creepy animal binoculars.

Instead he decided to try and teach me to skip rocks right on the shore below the Prince of Whales lodge. I love this place because we've come here every trip I've ever taken to Canada. Me and the girls would go right up to the ledge and throw rocks over. I was always too afraid to get close to the edge so I would throw them from much farther back. I think a few of them got hit in the head. Oops!   After our 1 day of being tourists we got to spend a whole day immersed in on of the most gorgeous wedding's I've ever been at! Tiff, The bride, asked me to sing at her reception as well so we practiced all day long to try and remind me how to carry a tune. The temple ceremony was incredible and I felt so blessed to have attended. It went by so fast and then we were back in the car for 12 more hours. It was so worth it though. We had so much fun on our last minute adventure. Once we came home we had 24 hours to pack and be ready to head back to Logan. Now here we are,ready to start a whole other type of adventure come Monday. Senior year! It feels like we never left. Home feels great.
