Just for fun on Canada day we got all dressed in appropriate red and white and headed into DC.
We stopped in at Ryan's office - which just happens to be a US Senator's office.
Said office just happens to be on the Foreign Relations Committee - specifically North America.
So I thought it was a good idea to introduce the office staff to a little bit of Canada.
We brought Smarties - a Canadian candy staple.
Pecan bars - it was the closest I could get to butter tarts.
I think Nanaimo Bars will be on the menu for next year.
And I gave them the following quiz - just to see how they are doing on their
Foreign Relations Committee assignment.
They passed!
