Canada Day Events

On Canada day when I got home from work at 6pm, Jake surprised me with a hot picnic supper and all the extras all ready to go. After we decided where to go, we loaded up the car and packed in the kids and took off. We checked out a few places on our way to the place my dad had recommended, but none were quite suitable. Moonlight Beach was too crowded, Silver Lake didn't have a picnic table or a good spot for a picnic blanket, but Fielding Memorial Park was perfect. After dinner we took a walk and found a playground that Hayden and Sage thoroughly enjoyed. We drove around again and found a good high place off Van Horne to watch the fireworks from Science North which were to start at 10:15. We had bug spray and mosquito pics and long sleeves and jackets and were quite happy. At one point before the fireworks started Hayden wanted to sit in the car, and we all thought that it would be a good idea, so all four of us piled in the front seat and waited till showtime.
