O Canada, Our Home and ...

Today is Canada Day. This is the big national celebration, similar to Independence Day in the States, but this year, there are a few more things to celebrate here for us. First, Samuel took and passed his drivers test. He is a licenced driver now, and can hardly wait to get behind the wheel. Second, Joseph graduated High School. He also graduated from Seminary a couple of weeks ago. Third, all the Simpson boys are going to a Province wide Aaronic Priesthood encampment - called Helaman's Encampment - next week in southern Alberta. It is a high adventure camp for all AP youth - should be about 1500 boys.

Samuel with the winning smile for the new driver.

After the HS graduation for Joseph and his friends.

Samuel, Scott, Rosemarie, Joseph and Zach.

Joseph after graduation preparing for the Grand March. The march is kind of like a social presentation where each graduate is presented to the community and them they and their date march around the local arena to the adulation of the folks, parents, extended family, etc.

Scott, Zach, Joseph, Graeme, and Mitch.

Zach, Bailey, and Joseph.



Summer hair cut day at the Simpson home.

Oops, the clippers slipped. Actually, this is to support Jacob and his new hairdo. jk

Almost like Mr. T

New do in progress. Needs a shave,

A little closer on the sides.

The boys with scalp conditioner. Note the Indians in the background? or the foreground?

The finished product. The joke have flown all day about the new hair. Some say they look like the new airbender, some like Maori Warriors, others say Cirque du Soleil acrobats.
