Canada, eh?

Happy Birthday Canada!

Each year we normally head to Osoyoos to take in the fireworks on Canada Day. With the holiday falling on a Wednesday it just wasn't going to work this year. I'm trying to save my holidays for our summer vacation, NYC in October and a little time at Christmas -- they are a precious thing.

We had a great time staying closer to home. We volunteered a bit at the Children's Festival (our daycare had a couple of booths), took in the festivities and then headed home for lunch. Later our friends Dan, Anita and their two children Avery and Sierra came over for a swim. The kids are close in age so they enjoyed playing together.

Vic commented how nice it was to stay close to home this time of the year. So many tourists on the road and crazy driving -- plus it just wipes us out.

Enjoy the rest of the day!
