Canada Bound

Israel is currently on her way to Thunder Bay, Ontario. JP's dad and stepmom are taking her and her cousin Ava on a trip there just for fun. They are going to visit Fort William, mine for amethysts, and swim in the hotel pool through Sunday, then head home. 

This is Rae's first time out of the country. She is going to Canada before I have even ever been there! She is very excited because she knows that JP's family comes from Canada and has always wanted to see the "homeland." 

The trip coincides wonderfully with a unit study we are doing in our homeschool co-op. We are studying different countries around the world, and Canada is a country we will be covering soon.

It is a six hour trip from here to Thunder Bay with no traffic, and from what we understand, the roads are down to one lane the way they are headed. Please pray for a safe trip for them, with no trouble going across the border or getting back in. 

I can't believe how big my girl is getting!
