Wordless Wednesday — Border Crossing
Happy Canada Day!
As much as we love Canada, we admit we cross the border to get to Target (and a whole lotta Outlet stores).
Canada is a wonderful country and we are very blessed to live here. But c’mon… no Target?
Sorry for the poor photo quality… Janice took this photo on her iPhone as she crossed the border to go shopping. And sorry Canada for our shopping betrayals.

Happy Canada Day to you! I couldn’t live without a Target nearby though!
Cat @ 3 Kids and Us @ 12:16 am
That’s pretty cool. I’ve never been to Canada or anywhere even close to the border.
Jenny @ 12:16 am
Target is a must have!
Robin ~ PENSIEVE @ 12:18 am
{{Giggles}} I’d cross a river full of gators to get to Target.
Actually, I’m impressed with the quality of your picture…phones are AMAZING these days!!!
Sarah @ 12:20 am
Happy Canada Day! It’s been far too long since we crossed the border for a visit. I don’t blame you for heading south now and then, I couldn’t live without Target!
CrAzY Working Mom @ 12:20 am
Oh, I had no idea. Happy Canada Day, indeed!
I’ve got some eyes for your viewing pleasure this week. *LOL* Come take a look.
Happy WW to all.

Louise @ 12:36 am
I’ve never crossed into Canada by land, we’ve only gone by Ferry
m a m a j o s s @ 12:39 am
LOL – that’s funny…all that for Target
MaryBeth @ Four Silly Sisters @ 12:42 am

Nightowlmama @ 12:43 am
Wow that is amazing
Happy Canada day I would luv to visit
Daddydayone @ 12:44 am
Lol! I need a target I was there 3 times today.
Wendy aka CalvaryGirl @ 12:54 am
Being in the south that’s a funny story for me
I have all sorts of jokes on border crossings that would be coming from my husband :p Then again, we live less than 2 miles from Target- dunno what I would do without it!
Deb - Mom of 3 Girls @ 1:02 am
Oh my, no Target?? Yikes…
Happy Canada Day!!
Napaboaniya APAD @ 1:02 am

PhoenixTheBloggingMama @ 1:09 am
LOL! @ Canadian shopping betrayals!
Miranda @ Keeper of the Cheerios @ 1:21 am
LOL I would cross the border for Target too!
That’s one store I couldn’t live without.
Gabriel @ 1:35 am
It’s not fair, the best shops are all South of the border (like Fuddruckers, mmmm). Before, we could have said “Yes, but you guys don’t have Tim Hortons”, but that’s not the case anymore…
My WW post…
Happy Canada Day!
Smellyann @ 1:47 am
Happy Canada Day!
Lisa @ Crazy Adventures in Parenting @ 1:48 am
I’m doing much the same thing – border crossing to get to Target and such, too! lol Except, I live in Louisiana, a good hour-and-a-half away from Target, so we either trek to the nearest, or go visit the in-laws in Dallas. So this weekend, we’re doing the latter. YAY TARGET!
Michelle @ 1:49 am
No Target! Yikes!
Happy Canada Day!
MomSoapBox @ 1:56 am
Happy WW and Canada Day too!

I’d cross the border to shop at Target.
Happy WW.

I love that arch! But I don’t love the wait time there… how often do you have to cross?
And Happy Canada Day!
Shan @ Last Shreds Of Sanity @ 4:41 am

Omg, I could not live without Target! We live in a smaller city, we don’t even have a Kmart or a CVS, so I feel very lucky to have a Target.
Renee @ 8:19 am

Kristen of La Dolce Vita @ 8:24 am

Happy Canada Day! I’m moving to BC soon from the states and one of the first things I did was find my nearest Target close to the border. A girls gotta have her Target, right?!
ali @ 7:08 pm
The nearest Target for me is over an hour away so it’s always a treat when I get to go to one!
Gwenn @ 12:58 am
Happy Canada Day!!!
Kelly@ Parenting Princesses @ 1:34 am
I’m a fellow Canadian who is also saddened by the lack of targets around here. Happy Canada Day
Raise Them Up @ 2:35 am
Would you believe my family and I only just discovered Target’s bargains yesterday?? To think what I’ve been missing!!
Lorie Shewbridge @ 1:48 pm
Belated Happy Canada Day (I’m catching up from yesterday)!
I haven’t been to Canada since I was a kid… it’s just too darned COLD up there. I live in Florida now, and when they say “border crossing” down here it has a WHOLE different meaning, and it ain’t for Target!! LOL
Love the pics, and all your posts — keep them and your visits to the states coming, you are always welcome!!
willowsprite @ 7:55 pm
I’m confused. You guys are Canadian but pretty much all your contests, content, and giveaways are US…?
Anyways, happy Canada day too! I’ve been down to the states and went to a Target (just ’cause apparently that’s THE store to go to,) and I found that it was pretty much the same as Zellers, except with way better customer service!
Stephanie @ 4:45 pm
Happy Canada Day (a little late). I’ve only been to Canada once, but it was a wonderful experience. It’s so beautiful there – lots of great places to visit, good food to eat, and friendly people to meet. How far do you live from the border?
