HAPPY CANADA DAY!

If anyone knows Derek and I....We love fireworks! So much so that we go to every Casino de Lac Leamy Sound of Lights show...they are spectacular!

We decided this year to bring Drayden to Jacques Cartier Park and to see the fireworks display for Canada Day...The Royal Visit was to make them better than ever I'm sure. I packed up a few things and got things ready for our lovely night out just us... as family.  I bought Drayden a Canada Day t-shirt for the occasion just the night before. We found a great parking spot with a nice walk not too far from the park. Once there we decided to get settled at the Museum of Civilization; just across from the park. Perfect enough we found a great roomy spot with a perfect view. We were there early enough that Drayden was able to play and watch people walk by dressed up in silly red and white gear. Here we are sitting on our blanket laying on the heavily wet grounds from all the rain we've had in the last week...we weren't the only ones with wet bums thank god we brought our lawn chairs! Drayden was so patient...not knowing what was going to happen, he's just happy walking around and waving at people as well as eating snacks. Eventually I dug out a LED glow stick out of the bag I also bought the night before for Mr. Drayden. Boy was he happy; just like all the other kids that had wands and such that lit up. You can tell when the fireworks are about to start people get ready and their blankets or chairs and  kids get all excited. I got Drayden in his jammies with a nice bum change, gave him his milk and drank it as he sat on me. Once the show started Drayden was startled and cried for a few seconds and held on to me so tight...he fell asleep watching the fireworks. And before you know know it... it was over; home we went. The show was good but I love the Lac Leamy ones better. Drayden was sound asleep and Mommy and Daddy soon followed. I'm getting old!

All ready to go to the show....

Happy Canada Day!
