Thanksgiving Monday

So I can't get a straight answer from my husband or other Canadians for that matter... What day is Thanksgiving in Canada? To them it's just a long weekend. I think it's Monday?? But we do the turkey on Sunday, as it's a stay at home evening after church and seems to work best. It just means we get a great free from school Monday and it being a holiday, nothing else is planned usually.  In Toronto area, there are tons of pumpkin patches, apple and strawberry farms, etc. with family friendly activities! We checked out Chudleigh's Apple farm today and loved it! Everyone and their dog (literally) decided to come out for the event. We found out once talking to people that this is a common Thanksgiving Monday tradition. Some people have raised their kids on this Thanksgiving outing, and honestly, I can see why! 

Now for the pictures! 

Canadian Thanksgiving

Happy turkey day in October!! The best part of this holiday is no school for daddy on Monday. But most Canadians I know celebrate with turkey on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend. So we follow that  tradition in the Cam and Rob Low family. We did this turkey low and slow in my new roaster while we were at church.. Didn't really have another option this time! But it turned out pretty good! 

Because we don't have family nearby we invited some friends  over who are in the same boat... The Miles family and also Brother McDonald- all from our Mississauga Ward. Ironically the Miles family is from the states, so this was their first Canadian Thanksgiving celebration. 

They just had a new baby, Gideon. Andrew Miles and Robbie serve in YM together and I go on weekly trail walks and hang out with Kelley (Andrew's wife) and our friend Jarah Weston. This is gonna be our family for the next few years... And any other young couples that move into the area! We gotta stick together!!
