The Royal Family’s visit to Canada has come to an end and they did not disappoint. William and Kate did what they set out to do in British Columbia and the Yukon, and Canadians welcomed them with open arms. But let’s face it. It was the kids who stole the show — even if we only saw them three out of the eight days. But that’s OK. We’ll take what we can get. And they gave as much as time allowed.

Welcome to Canada
Old hat for their parents but for George and Charlotte, things just got real. Cute, but real.Getty Images
No problem
Pfft. Being adorable is child's play. Getty Images
Grumpy George
Even a little crusty, he's still winning our hearts.Getty Images
Sassy George
Well, obviously that tongue was going to come out sooner or later. Getty Images
"Fine, Dad"
Sourpuss? Nah. A father-to-son talking-to works its magic every time.Getty Images
"OK, Mommy"
And with a tag-in from Mom, all is cute with the world once again.Getty Images
Smiling George
Aw. Basically the equivalent of a couple of otters floating around.Getty Images
Things that make him go "hmm"
George looked a tad nervous, like he knew he was about to meet a bunch of strangers.Getty Images
There will be no high-fiving or handshakes
Just me adorably snubbing you, sir.Getty Images
Uh-oh
"George, why can't you be like your sister?"Getty Images
Cool as a cucumber
Or is it "cute as a cucumber?" Either way, Charlotte's it.Getty Images
Peace out
"Maybe if I wave, they'll cut me some slack. The tea party will be more my jam anyway."Getty Images
Party time
It didn't seem possible but here's where the kids really shone.Getty Images
Balloon man works his magic
Charlotte may be gorgeous but she's looking a little irritated because she asked for a flower. There's no way THAT'S going to be a flower. Right?Getty Images
Disbelieving princess
She said "flower," not "tower."Getty Images
Flower power
OMG, it's a freaking flower! No child has ever looked more satisfied.Getty Images
George's turn
As Charlotte continues to be smitten with her flower, George is asked what he wants.Getty Images
WHOA
And balloon man gets to work, while George and Charlotte can't even comprehend what's happening before their very eyes.Getty Images
WOW
No, really. The open mouths and complete and utter fascination is akin to baby pandas being baby pandas. Getty Images
Will's turn
Will knows he's got to try and get a handle on this balloon thing because it's all George and Charlotte are going to ask for when they get home.Getty Images
Ballooning up
George gives the whole balloon-blowing thing a whirl.Getty Images
Cranky Charlotte
All the cutie-pie wants is to be let down. Getty Images
Walking tall
Charlotte looking determined, like she's got her eye on something ...Getty Images
No chance
Yep, this balloon arch can go in Charlotte's carry-on anytime now.Getty Images
Charlotte vs. balloons
Charlotte FTW!Getty Images
Not exactly bubbling over
Cute and cautious, yet can't tear his eyes away.Getty Images
Bubble time
Every kid is captivated by bubbles. George had no chance.Getty Images
Bubble man
His squeals of delight must've been amazing.Getty Images
Bubble yum
Watching them, eating them, potato, potah-to.Getty Images
Just for laughs
A good day.Getty Images
Blowing bubbles
George in control. Swoon.Getty Images
A closer look
One more time, just for good measure. Those cheeks!Getty Images
George, Charlotte and the bubblemaker
Love how much fun George is having while Charlotte couldn't be less interested.Getty Images
Charlotte's unimpressed
"Sorry, bro, but there are balloons to destroy."Getty Images
Music maker
Charlotte had a blast rocking out.Getty Images
The sound of music
It's like that instrument was made to be in Charlotte's hand.Getty Images
Charlotte's crescendo
All done. And Kate is totally fine if someone else wants to play with it because Charlotte's ready to move on.Getty Images
Dog day afternoon
We're not sure what's cuter -- Char or that dog.Getty Images
Bunny to bunny
Charlotte losing it over the bunny might be the most adorable thing we've ever laid eyes on.Getty Images
Curious George
Charlotte may have gotten a face full of rabbit but George is taking the more cautious approach.Getty Images
Cuddly corner
Ahh, nothing beats a cuddle from my dad, not even a party.Getty Images
Farewell, Cambridges
Their amazing time had to come to an end sometime.Getty Images
Bye-bye, cutie pie
We'll miss you, Charlotte. You and those cheeks. Getty Images
Bye, George
Of course he wouldn't get on the plane without giving us his own adorable solo double wave. Getty Images
Smoosh face
We don't want you to go either, George.Getty Images
Don't go, George
Should the last thing we think of as they leave is how much we would smoosh his little face if given the chance?Getty Images
