Surprises on Canada Day

We celebrated Canada Day on July 1 with a few surprises!

Surprise #1



Gas prices went up again! It is especially higher because there's an added feature to the price. Our province, BC, has added a 2.4%/litre tax to all fossil fuels like natural gas and gasoline. The government says that this tax money will help the province go green and make its economy stronger. This tax money will also balance out tax cuts and incentives that the government plans to give us, British Columbians. To help ease the transition of this new gas tax, the province gave us $100 each. Even Karch got one. I don't know why Tessa hasn't received one yet, though.


Surprise #2


On a more fun note, Leslie, a friend of mine, is getting married! Her bridal party threw her a fun bridal shower! Can't wait til' the big day. I'm especially excited because, for once, we don't need to find a babysitter to watch K & T. All four of us will be attending her and Mike's big day!



Surprise #3

Aaliyah, our friends' daughter turned 9 and had a surprise party. Once again, Caryl did her usual awesome thing and planned a great party with awesome activities and favours for the kiddies. She made fairy/sprite wings for the kids, and she taught the children how to make their own grassheads aka chia pets!
