I think it all started when we lived across town, and the Canada Day parade ran right down our street ... we couldn't NOT go.
Ben and Janae learned to dress in red and white, wave a flag, gather candy, and say, "Happy Canada Day!"
Then Jason's mom had us out to Harrison a few years in a row, and swimming at the lake became part of the tradition, too.
This year the kids dressed up in their red and white--
we went to a pancake breakfast put on by the church, and then headed out to Harrison Lake.
It was all a bit more complicated with a little baby--who loves the water but had to stay out of the sun. It was Eric's first experience with sand and lake water, and it wasn't easy to keep both from getting into his mouth!
But everyone still had fun :)
We seem to be raising some pretty patriotic little Canadians!
And some of them don't even know about the fireworks yet....
