Let Freedom Ring!

Talk about all the bald eagles we see up here...yowza! We spotted our first one while biking along a local beach called "Wreck Beach." Amidst stopping on the side of the road, we were entertained for a few minutes with what seemed to be a man and woman on a first date perhaps, he playing the guitar, while she listened intently. LAME! So, of course we were overjoyed to be distracted by the overwhelming beauty of wildlife within just a few feet of us. Being outside is a way of life here, not many couch potatoes or laziness to speak of. Sunny days here around 20 degrees celsius (around 70 fahrenheit) are reasons to put on your outdoor clothes and shake the dust off your bike, running shoes, frisbee, whatever! Vancouver is a pretty active city and has definitely caused us to go back to a time when being outside until the street lights came on was the rule and not the exception! Remember that time people?? I do! So, since Jason & I could not be in the actual US of A to celebrate our independence, we did it right here in our living room for all of 5 minutes it took to for Jason to take a break from studying and pose alongside me with his pearly whites. I in my red and white, he in his blue, we wanted to send our best to our loved ones back home and wish you a fantastic 4th of July! (ps. Did you know Canadians don't call cook-outs, cook-outs? They call them Barbeque's whether there's bbq on the grill or not...this has also taken us a back) We love ya'll and wish you were here. :)
