We were super excited to head up to Parliament Hill yesterday to see Fortissimo, a big military-based music show that features marching bands, pipers, and the Ceremonial Guard. Unfortunately, the torrential rain that came down all morning, and continued in spurts as the day progressed, forced a cancellation of that night's festivities. We didn't realize the Canadian Forces took the day off when it rained! Nevertheless, we got to enjoy a nice walk along the Hill and some time with Ron, who is flying solo as Menna and Rhiannon are off in Wales tending to Menna's ailing mother. The kids liked checking out the Eternal Flame and exhausted us of all the pocket change we had as a result. Oliver has been sick the past week but was quite the trooper and is on the mend and more his normal happy self today. We have a busy week ahead and are looking forward to Brooklyn's birthday and Rhiannon's shower this weekend!
Cloudy skies, happy times with Uncle Ron!
Note to self: ask future Science teacher how a flame and a fountain can be in the same place.
Here comes another bus, Mommy!
