Canada Day

Tuesday was Canada Day. As tradition, we had pancakes for breakfast, even though they weren't free and at the Alberta Legislature, they were great. 

We spent most of this day in Kenora.

 Here we are ready to boat over to Kenora.

 While waiting for the other families to boat over we went and saw Husky the Muskie. Years ago a young Grandpa Lamont hitchhiked with a friend from Leduc, Alberta to Kenora, Ontario and spent the night by Husky the Muskie.

Seeing some sights.

 Henry all bundled up.

 To escape the rain we checked out the Lake of the Woods museum. It was free admission on Canada Day and nothing really special.

 

 Later we found some of the Canada Day activities going on and Macy met Elsa and Tinkerbell, she was more than a little excited! 

Before we left we stopped for Kenora fries. They did not disappoint and were devoured very quickly!

 Any buyers interested?

 Macy had SO much fun with Eden! 

 Alice photo bombed!

 After fries we started heading back to the island. While waiting we did some sightseeing. Here's Rachel driving us around town!

For dinner we had BBQ burgers. The weather started to clear, so Tom, Julie, Chris, me, Richard, and Jacquie went on an evening boat ride with Grandpa. It was fun boating around all the islands and enjoying an evening without clouds or rain.

 We dropped off Julie and Jacquie back at the cabin and picked up Mom and headed towards Kenora for fireworks. We didn't know exactly where we were going or where the fireworks would be set off, so we just parked around other boats. After a couple of minutes of waiting the fireworks started. We had a front row seat from the boat. It was awesome! We just laid back in the boat and watched. The fireworks and the boat and the perfect evening made it probably the best fireworks show I have seen.

We boated back to the cabin, found the kids still asleep, and went to bed.
