Happy Canada Day

We went downtown to check out the Canada Day action.
Here's our little Canadian girl!

I only got a few pictures because our camera battery was low. It was the first time we were in Victoria to celebrate Canada Day. The downtown core was blocked off to cars, and the streets and inner harbour area became full of pedestrians and young party animals. As the night wore on, more and more crazy people filled the streets. Note to ourselves - our kids will not be allowed out to celebrate downtown with friends when they are teenagers! The fireworks show kicked off at 10:30pm, who would have thought it was going to be so late in the evening? We got there at 7:30, and therefore had the blessing of entertaining and keeping both kids on tight leashes for 3 hours. By the time the firework show began, Matthew had started to mellow out but Taiya continued to be wide eyed and wired to the tilt. Overall, the fireworks show was worth seeing and I'm glad we went, I just don't think we'll put ourselves through that for a few more years to come:) Happy Canada Day Everyone!
