Royals Speed By

Prince William and Kate have been visiting Canada for the past 9 days and their last stop is Calgary.  Emily has become a bit of a royal watcher so really wanted to head to the parade as she heard they were going to ride the parade route.  The parade was set to start at 8:55 a.m. so we were there shortly before 7:30 a.m. I knew it was going to be busy, but it was crazy.  We found a spot that wasn't too many people deep and three nice ladies let the kids stand in front of them, so Emily and Liam had a pretty good view.  However, it was pretty anti-climatic as there were three motorcade vehicles and they whizzed by at probably 40 km/h. Luckily one of the men sitting near us told us that Will and Kate were in the third vehicle, so we knew what to look for.  Both kids saw them and Emily then proclaimed, "This is the best day of my life."  I saw them too, but they were too fast for a decent picture.

Some entertainment early in the morning
