In the morning I got the kids together and dropped Spencer off at the office to study and we headed out the the Legislature Pancake breakfast. It was alright. Pancakes, watermelon, and juice. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have any sausages. But oh well. Maybe next year I'll skip the breakfast and do the Canada Day run instead.
We took in the Silly Summer Parade on Whyte Ave then headed back to a nearby school for a BBQ and games/playground/bouncy houses. The weather was great and the kids had a fun time.
Here we are waiting for the parade to start. The parade was small and mostly associated with all things from strathcona, since that is the Business Association that put it on. My kids are always disappointed with parades in big cities, since no candy is thrown. They loved going to visit grandma and grandpa Burt for the Cardston parade. They didn't even want to go the the Captial EX parade....they immediately asked if there was going to be candy. When I informed them that there wasn't....they said no thanks.
Here is the BBQ that we enjoyed. They of course had free Canada Day Birthday Cake, which all my kids enjoyed.
Aaron loved seeing this Canadian Maple leaf.
