We had a great Canada Day with family and friends.
Madeline and I worked on this red velvet cake and it turned out very tastily. :)
We headed out to Wetaskiwin and spent some time in the sun, waiting for Rob's band performance. Some of us got a little too much sun.
Luckily there was a park nearby to keep Maddie busy.
After the somewhat incompetent tech team got everything figured out, Rob's band was able to do a stellar job. It was neat to see him in action.
Pants and Animals - Woo!
Claire loved the music!
We spent the rest of the day hanging out at Grandma and Grandpa Patterson's place.
We had lots of fun on the trampoline.
We spent some time in the hot tub, fighting off the mosquitos and playing games with Madeline.
Claire had good cuddles with Grandma and Grandpa after having some stomach troubles.
We also managed to sneak in a few family pictures in our Canada day garb.
It's tradition now. :)
We headed back up to the city for the fireworks and they were great.
Madeline got a sweet ride on Ryan's shoulders as we trekked a ways to find a good spot.
It was a wonderful end to the day and a fitting reminder of what a great country we live in!
