Happy Canada Day
Happy Canada Day!!!!
We finally put up our flag (Giant has been begging us to put up the flag all week).
The boys helped daddy hammer in the support:
Giant had the honour of carrying out the flag:
Two cute little Canadians:
We had a great day programming and gardening and playing and napping.
Late in the afternoon, we went down the hill for the Party in the Park.
Goofy hats, check!
Lots of fun, check!
(Hmmm, those blow up play contraptions are rather familiar)
We even got to go on a wagon ride. Galoot was dubious of the fun involved:
And the best part? Cotton Candy!
We came home and had supper and baths.
Then we partied while waiting for fireworks to begin with some pure Canadian programming:
Hola Canadians! (All my Spanish comes from Diego).
Then I booted my boys off the computer and they drew and talked about fireworks while I made popcorn:
We waited on our front steps for about an hour, watching people gather and enjoying the building excitement:
Kaboom!!!!
We munched popcorn and enjoyed the display:
My favourite quotes from the night:
Ettin, watching the fireworks—“They are b’oken spiders! The spiders are exthploding!”
Giant: “I like it when they paint the cars!”
Galoot: “ZZZZZZZ” (The kid fell asleep in the middle of all the booming and lights 🙂 )
I love being Canadian!
