Baby's First Canada Day

Baby's first Canada Day started regularly enough. After a good breakfast of breast milk and cereal, she stayed home while her older sisters attended swimming lessons. Ordinarily, she would have stayed with Grandma, but due to the holiday, she spent some quality time with Papa.

After her morning nap, and a quick lunch with her sisters, she headed off to some local festivities with her entire family. Were it not for the sweltering heat, she would have remained outdoors longer. As it was, she enjoyed some inflatables and a Mega Bloc station specifically geared towards her age group. Meanwhile, her sisters got their faces painted, bounced on some inflatable play structures, played mini-golf and enjoyed a cold snack.

Back at home by 15:30, Baby was exhausted and was ready for her second nap. S2 normally naps much earlier, but her parents made an exception, and both S2 & S3 slept soundly from 15:30 to 17h.  After a quick snack, Baby and her family headed east to join some cousins whose community was celebrating Canada Day in the evening. While she could not stay for the fireworks, Baby and her sisters enjoyed barbecued food, played on some old-fashioned play structures, and ended the evening by running (or crawling int he case of Baby) through some sprinklers.
