Yee Haw!

It's that time of year again - mini doughnuts, rodeo, nightly fireworks and who knows what else. It's the greatest outdoor show on earth - the Calgary Stampede. It's our tradition to park at the zoo and head down to the parade. The kids enjoy seeing all the floats, horses and costumes. Liam especially liked the Canadian Army tanks and Emily enjoyed watching the salsa dancers and their 'sun' float. Not sure if we'll make it down to the grounds this year though. Although next year we'll be able to see the fireworks from our balcony.

Happy Canada day! We are 142 years old. We took the kids downtown for some festivities. They enjoy dressing up, making crafts and collecting Canadian flags. Emily is especially patriotic and enjoys the holiday.

Playing some bocci ball after the celebration...
