Canada 2012


 Here's a short recap of our Canada Family Vacation this year.


We got off to a bit of a rough start.  
Our flight from Oahu was delayed until 2:30am.
(Luckily we got most of our bad luck out of the way in the beginning of the trip!)

Bailey completed her summer journal, a wonderful compilation of  her summer events, to be turned in. She looked so cute in her new uniform with her matching bows (Which came out midway thru school when they did uku checks.  Oh well.)
