WILL & KATE'S GREAT NORTH AMERICAN ADVENTURE!!!

Prince William and his wife Kate, arrived in Canada today to begin their first official tour as a married couple. They are touring Canada over the next 9 days and then are heading down to the US as well. I think this is going to be very fun to follow so I'm going to try to follow them the best I can! If you all find something jump right in! I already posted a few pictures in the Chit Chat thread but here are a few more .............

Kate always looks like she's just beaming. I really love these two together. Thanks so much for the pictures and thread canear!!

They both appear to be very happy! Canada is welcoming them with open arms.

Here is a link to one of our national newspapers and some more pictures!

....and a video of them at a youth function tonight. These were young people chosen for their charity work from across the country and the food was cooked by culinary students, some from the Stratford area not far from here!

Oh I adore picture #9 where William is outstretching his hand to touch the little baby's hand. That is so precious!!

What a great little video. William is so engaging and humorous. He really is prince charming. Kate is very attentive to everyone especially to whoever is talking to her. She never looked anywhere else but that one person.

Day Two - Canada Day!! Love Kate's hat with the maple leaves and she's wearing the red and white colours from our flag.

Part of the crowd at Parliament Hill in Ottawa today to great them at the Canada Day celebrations. There were 300,000 people there!!

They took part in a citizenship ceremony as well today welcoming new citizens to Canada!

A closer look at Kate's pin. It is a maple leaf pin that was lent to her by Queen Elizabeth. The Queen got it on one of her trips to Canada several years ago.

I wonder what is going through William's mind here?

He is wondering why you didn't show up Canear!!!

(I could not marry the prince of England because I would look a total fool in those goofy hats )

Ha! I wish! They are goofy hats but Kate sure seems to be pulling them off!

It would have been Princess Diana's 50th birthday today so that was perhaps on William's mind. I watched the news and they interviewed people that had met Princess Diana back in 1991 when she and Charles came to Ottawa and then today they met William and/or Kate in the exact same spot. I find that rather cool!

No, he doesn't look sad - he looks annoyed.

Very cool for the folks who met Diana and now Kat and William.

A cool article on a visit they made today to a youth shelter in Quebec City.

Today Will and Kate were in PEI and did some really cool things like dragon boat racing, flying a rescue helicopter and were on a battleship.

I just love the way Will is looking at Kate in this one ...........
