Oh Canada

Yesterday was Canada's 144th birthday! Every year we get together with the neighbours for our annual Canada Day celebrations and bbq. Depending on the kids we might take in the fireworks that evening.
The morning starts off getting ready early to walk over to the museum for a pancake breakfast, teddy bear picnic, tractor parade, some exploring and an oil rig demonstration. We learned this year that Gavin really likes tractors and firetrucks. After we go to the neighbours and the kids spend the afternoon outside and we bbq a late lunch/early supper. Later in the evening we sit by the fire roasting hot dogs and smores. This year Ainsley went with her Auntie Meg to the fireworks. I was surprised to hear she stayed awake long enough to see them but not surprised to hear that she fell asleep on the way home.  I heard that they were pink and all the other colors, they were loud and she really liked them :)
!!Happy Birthday Canada!!
