True Patriot Love


Canada Day in Ottawa never disappoints. It's hard to describe what it's like, but maybe the closest we can come is to say is that it's like New Year's Eve if it were all day long, in the middle of the summer, and you could bring your kids. This year we broke the day into 3 different activities, in the morning we walked to the top of Dow's Lake to check out the Fun Fair happenings, the afternoon we spent at Oliver's friend Jack's place watching the Euro final and chatting with friends, and finally ventured into the downtown mayhem for a walk along Rideau to Parliament Hill. It was a blast and great to share it with Grandmaman and Grandpapa. Here are some of our favourite pics from the day:

Always a good day for a pony ride


 More modern transportation also works!


She even convinced Grandmaman to try it out
