Oh Canada!



I hope everyone had a great Canada day yesterday! It definitely was an interesting one here in good old 'Peg city.
Minutes after arriving at the Assiniboine Park Zoo, it started to rain. Sometimes the rain was light, other times a little heavier. We ducked into places like the Tropical House and Discovery Centre in an effort to stay dry while still visiting some animals. After a little while the rain subsided, but Xavier had had enough by this time. He wanted food.

We knew that the Lyric stage behind the pavillion was going to have shows on all afternoon and evening, where there is entertainment, there's food.
We made the short walk from the Zoo and quickly found the food vendors. Richard had some smokies and I bought a large cheese pizza which we all shared. It was yummy.
We watched a historical play about Manitoba and the Chinese Lion dance.

We really were having a great time, but it was HOT outside by this time, not to mention a little muggy because of the aforementioned rain. We came back to our nice air-conditioned home :)

We had Nicole and Tony over for dinner to wrap up a nice first Canada day for Lucas.
