We had a great Canada Day in Yellowknife despite the inclement weather. Tim had arrived on time back from Iqualuit the night before so I was relieved! The night before it took me 2 1/2 hours to get kids to bed. I was worn out! We headed down to the parade on Franklin and met all of our friends across from Javaroma. Carolyn, Glen, Connor, Heather, Glen, Natalie, Madeline, Amanda, Paul, Judy, Haydon, Madyson, Gina, Stuart, Georgia, Owen, Katherine. The annual meeting spot. Edzea loved all of the mascots-A&W Root Bear and the McDonald’s bird were chased down the road. Lots of the floats were throwing out candies so Edzea got a little box of her own smarties for the first time and a sucker for the first time.
From the parade site we moved to the new civic plaza site at the side of Frame Lake. Bug free and super fun for the kids. Rohan enjoyed himself in the Baby Bjorn with Daddy. Edzea danced to the different bands that were there. She truly loves music!
There was a bouncy castle that proved to be very popular with she and her friends too. They all went in it as a group and had a good time. Edzea went back 3 times. We waited in line!!! The first time with Haydon & Connor & Georgia, next time with Natalie and then the last time with Mathieu. We then found the Canada’s Birthday cupcakes and we all dug in! Edzea most of all. That girl LOVES cake! as you can see from the pics. We then had Katherine over to our house for dinner and a movie. All in all a great Canada Day!
