Canada Day ~ Holiday Weekend


 This past weekend we celebrated Canada Day ! It happened to fall on a Sunday this year which ment we didn't go to any celebrations in the morning . So instead we had a bar-be-que after church.
The cousins that were around that day! 
All ready for the parade .....
My little Canadians :)
Red & White 
Proud colors of our Country .....
Beautiful waterfront .....
Waiting for the parade ....
Which was only about 5 min long .......
Oh well ......
My girls walking on the boardwalk ......
Enjoying the sunshine and the HEAT ....
Finally :)
Little Man holding tightly to his flag .....
After the parade it was time to cool off ......
Cooper is finally over his fear of the water .....
Taking the plunge and doing the doggie paddle all on his own ......
Daddy was home from work for the holiday, which ment plenty of time to play!
Who else would beable to throw the girls in the air ?
Higher and Higher .......
The kids would live in my Aunt & Uncle's pool, so thankful that they don't seem to mind the noise and the splashing ..... Newsflash ..... You are more likely to have summertime company if you own a POOL ! Betcha didn't know that one right ???  :)
Something about the water that always draws people towards it ....
Just to sit and talk ......
Or throw rocks in to .......
Some of our fireworks watching family  :)
The sun going down over the water 
Now it's dark enough for fireworks !!!
This is the exact point in the evening where we discovered that we had parked our chairs in front of a maple tree, therefore blocking most of the fireworks ......
We were able to see them once they went a little higher .....
Hopefully we'll have the smarts to find a better seat for the Fourth of July ones in ME. tomorrow night .....
Yesterday morning we got up bright and early to go to the strawberry field.
Around here when things are in season you pick them and store lots extra for the 7-8 months fresh local produce is not available.
Little Man just can't resist trying a few ......
Mag's worked hard and was nonstop help .....
Little Man was more like the Foreman of us strawberry pickers :)
Yummy !!!!
There is nothing better than fresh strawberries to eat ......
These ones got squashed and put in the freezer for the winter....
Will be picking my jam making berries in a few days .....
We saw this bike at the end of someones driveway - For Free ! Cooper could not be prouder. We got it so he could have a bike at his Mimi & Bampi's to ride. Never mind the brand new one that we got him for his last birthday that he has zero interest in riding ! So see ~ kids don't care if it's new or used. Brand new prices aren't what makes things special :)
