O' Canada

CANADA DAY!!!! Canada Day is July 1st and celebrated like the 4th of July in the states. It just so happens to be Jeff's bday too!!! So we had a full day of celebration. The first thing we did was go to a big Canada Day celebration they were having by the Olympic torch and convention center. The kids had their faces painted and we got to see the torch lit. After that we met theCrossings team as well as people they invited and some of the baseball families, and friends they invited at 2nd beach. We ate, played, and talked for a few hours. Then we all kind of went our separate ways except for the Robinson's, the Lochhead's, and us. We all went back and watched the Canada Day parade that was close to our apt. Our group dwindled down to just our family after the parade and we let the kids stay up until 10:30 to go and watch the fireworks in the Harbor by our apt. It was so crazy, about 10:25, when we left our apt., tons of people were walking down all the sidewalks to go to the apts. It made me feel like we were at Disney World or somewhere among the masses. We were ALL wiped out after our FULL day of fun!!
