Canada Day

Since Canada Day was on a Sunday we took it kinda easy.  I decided to skip the usual pancake breakfast at the Legislature (they only serve pancakes, watermelon and juice anyways).  I instead made french toast with the Maple bread that I bought from Costco.  That was yummy!
We just played at home and then went to church I had to teach the RS lesson. 

Then we had a fabulous BBQ and continued to hang out at home until 9pm.  At which time we packed some things up and braved the fireworks at the legislature grounds.  We tossed the frisbee and enjoyed being outside on such a beautiful day.  Then we found the best spot so far to enjoy the fireworks as we had a front row seat (right behind the fence that they put up).  We enjoyed the fireworks at 11pm and struggled our way back to our vehicle and waited our turn to leave the downtown core. 

Here some of us are in front of the water feature at the Legislature. 

Here is the other half.  Aaron fell asleep in the van ride over.  Remember is was after 9pm and he had a full day already. 

 Here we are waiting for the fireworks to start.  Aaron is still asleep and I bought some glow necklaces for the kids to wear; next year I'll buy way more and pack some card games to play.  Evan was done watching the fireworks after about 10 minutes but they continued on for another 5 minutes.  We woke Aaron up so he could enjoy them; although I think they may have been a bit too loud for his liking. 

Happy Canada Day.
