Many places in our country have been and still currently are downright hot, so, what might the children you love want to do if it is a warm, sunny, even a hot day and they are at your house?
Play in the water! And, not just play in the water, but use squirt guns if you have them.
The month of March was Dr. Seuss Month, but, I thought I'd share a few more quotes.
Yesterday I didn't write about one of Canada's National Parks as since it was Canada Day, I wrote about celebrating Canada! There are four more National Parks for me to write about so today I'm writing about another very remote National Park in Canada - Wapusk National Park.

By the way, did you know July is National Ice Cream Month?! I do enjoy a nice bowl of ice cream, but since I've been focused on losing weight (I've lost 100lbs since the start of 2020!), I rarely eat this sweet treat. I have found, however; sorbetto on a stick - especially the mini-size only has 50 calories per serving! Hooray!
But back to ice cream - let's look at some ice cream fun facts - did you know . . .
The 4th of July is just a few days away and if you are looking for a fun craft which you could make with your grandchildren, check this one for Fireworks in a Bottle which I found on Pinterest!
Today I'm happy to let you know about another holiday in Canada - Canada Day which is celebrated every year on July 1st. Some people think Canada Day is like the 4th of July in the US, but this "Lost Canadian" has learned while both holidays involve independence from the United Kingdom, Canada Day marks the beginning of Canada's path to sovereignty—starting with Confederation in 1867.

What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground beef.
I have been surprised by how Canada has quite a few National Parks which are "remote" to say the least. I suppose considering how a large portion of Canada is in the "far North" I should not be surprised by this.

Apparently in Canada National Parks are not just places for lots of people to spend their vacations, they are places of incredible beauty worth preserving and protecting - Vuntut National Park is one such place for sure!
