Canada Day with the Family: a photo journey

We celebrated Canada Day twice this last Monday. It more than made up for last year when I was at work, our toddler was with Grandma, and the baby was home with her papa.  We started off the day with a leisurely breakfast. Our toddler ate a Canada cookie for dessert:

We then headed to our local tennis courts and tried to play tennis:

But mostly we hung out in the adjacent park:

We then headed over to a nearby park where they had daytime festivities for kids including a barbecue, bouncy castles, and cupcakes handed out by the mayor. Our baby stayed for the food and one go at the bouncy castle before heading home for a nap with her papa. Our toddler and I stayed for a few additional hours, and took many turns at the bouncy castle. We finished off with some delicious Canada Day cupcakes.

We then headed over to my husband's cousin's house in the evening. His borough was hosting evening festivities for children of all ages. Our baby and her cousin happily rode over to the local park in a wagon pulled by their older siblings. At the park they enjoyed food, bouncy castles, and playing in the park all over again.

 

We finally headed home a little after 20h. I could not believe that we had celebrated Canada Day twice in the same day! The girls no doubt wished it were Canada Day every day. They slept soundly through the night, thus allowing their parents to do the same!
