Oh Canada (Day)

Yesterday we went to Fallowfield and picked strawberries.  C now has lots (and lots and lots) of strawberries.  Then we came home and washed them (and ate some as well).  When we were in the patch picking strawberries, the Snowbirds flew by above us.  It was very Canadian (and strawberries are even red).

We decided to head over to Parliament Hill after supper to take in some of the entertainment.  We stayed for a couple of hours but left before the fireworks.  However, we did not miss seeing fireworks as there were tons of fireworks being set off around us.  It was quite the sight...

The very first year C was in her house, we went to PEI.  We ended up coming back from PEI on July first.  We went downtown in the afternoon and took in some of the street performers (etc) that were downtown.  Unfortunately it started to rain - not just rain but pour.  So we ran into the nearest restaurant for something to eat.  It was a 2 hour wait (as it was in the other restaurants in that area).  We waited and then ate.  Afterwards it was still raining so we decided to skip the Parliament Hill entertainment and go home.  Imagine our surprise when the city of Nepean set off their fireworks display right outside our door.  It was a beautiful sight! 

Unfortunately they no longer set it off right there but...we were still able to see fireworks.
