Canuck Place 15 Year Anniversary & Family Party





Sunday we all went to the annual Canuck Place family BBQ which was also celebrating their 15 year anniversary. We had a great Family day at Vandusen Gardens. Angeline's highlight was the bubble machine... she would migrate to it whenever we put her down saying "bubbles...bubbles!" David's favorite was probably meeting Fin and high fiving the Superman Smart Bread Sandwich guy (large piece of bread walking around in red boots and a cape). Jonathan's highlight was probably the photo booth and the walk around the gardens. I enjoyed just being out the 4 of us. It really was an amazing day with lots of smiles and a few tears as well. As a young girl sang on stage in her wheel chair I couldn't help but be sad that I wasn't able to continue to witness Noah's accomplishments. Still I am very thankful for the role Canuck Place has played in Noah's life and continues to play in ours.
I've mentioned before that my mom and Jonathan's dad will be participating in the Adventure Challenge on September 11th to help raise money for this wonderful organization if anyone feels led to make a donation there is a link on the Canuck Place website for the Adventure Challenge.
