Happy Birthday Canada!  And what a wonderful day it has been.    Before I tell you about our day, do you remember the bird house in one of our trees?  The one that has the bird’s nest in it.  Well, if you look closely at the photo you should be able to see the eggs.

Okay, our day began with a trip to our local Canada celebration.  Miss E was playing with the band.  In fact, today was also the first time that she is marching with the band.  She did so very well and really enjoyed herself.

After she was done, it was time for treats, skee ball and crafts.  Plus, Miss K went with her Grandma to watch Elvis Stojko preform at the arena.  Apparently the show was well worth it and they enjoyed themselves immensely.

Where else would you find a beer made out of balloons?

Next it was home for some exercise.  Yesterday Miss E asked me to take the training wheels off of her bike.  Today she decided that it was time to give it a go and, with the help of a gyroscopic front wheel, she was successful.  Give her about two weeks and I think that she will be riding a two wheeler proper.

The day drew to a close with fireworks.  Miss K went off on her bike with a friend and her family while I took Miss E with me.  Miss K just got home after enjoying some late night sparklers to top of the ride while Miss E asked to go home in the middle of the fireworks because she was just too tired.
