Canada Day Fun!
This was Ben’s first Canada Day, and I have to say, as far as days go, it was pretty darn near perfect.
We first got up a little late had breakfast, played, all our usual morning stuff. Then we packed up a small picnic lunch and went off for a day of geocaching. We targeted caches which required a little walk, or had a playground and Ben enjoyed all of it, except for getting back into the carseat.
We came back home for dinner and a long nap, after which we headed out for the fireworks. Greg and I were really wanting to turn around and go home, but decided to forge ahead all in the name of Ben’s first fireworks.
Ben was tired and grumpy, and I was almost ready to pack up and just go home when the fireworks finally started. All I can say is, wow. The fireworks were fabulous, and Ben absolutely LOVED them. I never expected that reaction, But I’m thrilled. He was laughing, squealing, kicking, and making his O face (his excited face). For all 20 minutes of the show.
We were home 15 minutes before midnight, and Ben was asleep by midnight.
It was a wonderful day, and I hope it can compare next year. The pics will be up shortly, and you’ll see that at least for us, it was perfect.
