Happy Canada Day! Today I have a very special guest blogger, my daughter Abby, who is 9 years old. She put together this article, including the pictures, all on her own. I told her I would share it with you guys here, I’m pretty proud of her and this is her first published article. 🙂
Canada
 Our Home Country
 By Abigail Friesen
This is a Canadian flag. The red stands for the blood of Lord Christ and the white stands for a pure, clean heart. It goes like this because Canada is a Christian country.
Canada Day is a big day—it’s Canada’s Birthday! This year Canada is turning 145 years old! We’re living in a great-grandparent! If you ever live to be that old, think about how Canada felt. Write about it if you want.
Canada is a large country with 10 provinces and 3 territories. Canada is the second largest country in the world! Take care of it and keep studying!

Great job Abigail! It almost makes me want to be Canadian!
Jeanine says
Thanks, Lauren! She’s pretty convincing, isn’t she? 🙂

I have often thought that if I had to leave Washington State I would like to move up to British Columbia. We always have met nice people when we went there. Common children indeed.
Jeanine says
Thanks, Margaret! BC is a beautiful place!
Marion says
Great job, Abigail! I am very thankful that I was born in a great country like Canada. I take good care of my country and it seems like you will too. Thanks for your post. You did a terrific job! With love, from Calgary.
Jeanine says
Thanks, Marion!

Wow, that is a great article Abigail. I never knew that about the Canadian flag colors – what a wonderful thing to think about when you look at your flag. I can’t wait to tell my kids what I learned. Thanks.
Jeanine says
Thanks, Betsy! I learned a few things too, apparently she was taught this stuff at school. 🙂
