Canada Day

July 1st, 2012 

Canada Day is a hot one, 38 degrees. The kind of day that when you step outside you are covered in sweat and feel the need for another shower.

With so much to do today in the city the kids & I went to Lower Fort Gary. Free on Canada Day. (I like Free)  It was a nice drive out Main street, Madisen read the ghost stories and history of the place then told us all about it.  When we got there we looked for all the places that ghosts have been seen it was really fun to see the places that we just heard and read about. 

There were games, crafts, face painting & demonstrations.  The tourist center had Canada flag pins, stickers and book marks that were free for the taking.  Zachary got a maple leaf tattoo and immediately scratched it off of his hand.  Under the shelters they had dancing and live music.  I don't know how these people were wearing the dresses it was so hot outside. Bravo on them!  Then they brought out the birthday cake!  We all sang "Oh Canada" in English and French then ate some yummy cake. 

We've been sitting inside with the fans going for a little while, had some dinner and now getting ready to go find a place to watch some fireworks! We ended up watching the fireworks in a not so secret location it turns out.  They had fireworks that looked like the planet Saturn, some that I thought looked like a spaceship, others that looked like they came right at you. It was a great night!
