On June 10th our friends and family came to our first gala on Gala Loop. It was in celebration of our new home and Ryan's new US citizenship. Guests brought an American food or drink to share; our kitchen island was spread with such delights as mac-n-cheese, jello, salsa, chips, deviled eggs, hot dogs, beer, punch, and decaf coffee.
Of course it was not all celebration as some of our Canadian family and friends were not especially happy with Ryan and his crossing over to the "dark side." His cousin, Cole, brought him a bunch of Canadian paraphernalia which included this Canadian flag.
We required that our guests take a sample citizenship test. Some scored 100%, some the required 60%, some failed, and others chose not to take the quiz. See how well you do.
1. What do the stripes on the flag represent?
2. What is the 4th of July?
3. What country did we fight during the Revolutionary War?
4. What are the three branches of our government?
5. What did the Emancipation Proclamation do?

9. Why are there 100 Senators in the Senate?
10. What is the most important right granted to U.S. citizens?
