Happy Canada Day, eh

As is our custom, we went into Sidney to watch the Canada Day parade this morning.

Megan took part, as a last-minute banner-bearer for the dog training club.

Along the road where we usually sit, the proprieters at a little corner cafe give out free popcorn and lemonade. The empty popcorn cup comes in handy to stash candies dished out along the way. They give out stickers too, like this maple leaf that Matthew is wearing.

Hmmm...I think I've got one of these in my back yard!


It was cold this morning, especially with a breeze coming off the sea, but the sun came out in the afternoon so we could make use of our newly-painted deck, and that great Canadian icon - the battleship-sized barbecue!

Happy Canada Day.
