Happy belated Canada day! Hope everyone had a great day!
First and foremost a big congratulations to Pascale who officially became a Canadian citizen yesterday! We had the intention to go to the swearing in ceremony. It was at the mint at 9h15, but sometimes, with little ones, best intentions is all you can give. We, unfortunately did not make it. However, we did extend our congrats to her.
So this is what we did. We walked down our street (with the kids riding in the stroller of course), across the Louise Bridge, up Higgins and down Waterfront Dr to the Waterfront Dock. At the Waterfront Dock we caught the waterbus which brought us to the Hugo Dock on Wellington Drive. From there we walked all the way on Wellington Crescent to Assiniboine Park (about a 10km walk).
We enjoyed some of the Canada Day festivities including a bouncy Winnie the Pooh house for Emma to jump in, ice cream, music and of course hot dogs. Believe it or not, I actually found a hot dog vendor that sold veggie dogs! Amazing! That made me very happy!
We than made our way to the Zoo where Richard waited in line FOREVER just to get some drinks for us!
We made our way home by walking back to the Pavillion area of the park and walking across the footbridge to Portage Ave, where we hopped on the 11 Kildonan which brought us all the way back home minus a block or two.
All in all, a good Canada day.
Oh yeah, I did all that walking wearing leisure shoes, so I'm a little achy breaky this morning. Getting out of bed was a hard thing to do!!
