Canada Day Lunch
Lora, Kari and Kat tuck in! (Check out Bev's decorating job!)July 1st is CANADA DAY! How lucky were we to be here for this!
Just like Australia Day, some people here went nuts for Canada day, and some didnt do much at all. Those who seemed the most patriotic had Canadian car flags, flags out the front of their houses, red and white clothes and honked their horns loud when anyone walked past them!
We were more subdued. We had a bbq lunch (with some FANTASTIC Alberta Beef) and a special Canada Day cake that we Aussies helped Bev make. (see photos)
After some serious lazing around / digesting time, we drove out to High River to see some fireworks! Then after some lazing around at Bryce's house and some serious trouble with Lora's car and some phone calls and some more lazing around we found a way to the lake to watch the fireworks.
It was a little rainy, so they started the show just a little before the sun had set completely (10:20pm!). It was quite nice, us two resourceful Aussies made a cubby with a little bit of blanket under us to keep our bums dry and a folded roof over our heads. There
Canada Day Cake #1
Step 1: buy/make large white cake were a lot of people set up to watch the fireworks, and a live band playing on a small stage. The mosquitos were out in force again, and between the four of us i rekon we used a tonne of bug repellent!
The rain eventually stopped, just as the show was ending (!) and we headed home again!
