Canada Day Weekend

So it really wasn't much of a Canada Day Long weekend because Canada Day was on Tuesday and I had to work Monday. But it was still a good weekend. On Friday I got off work a little bit early so we went to an earlier Temple Session. After we went out for dessert at one of the cute Whyte Ave dessert resturaunts and shared a Marble Cheesecake. Quite delicious. On Saturday Chris went in to work for about an hour in the mourning just to check on what the construction guys were doing. Then we headed to the beach. It was a little bit of a last minute decision, so we just went with ourselves, but it was a great beach day! It's no Grand Beach, but still good, and free. The weather was so hot! Probably about 30 Celsius. It was great beach weather. I don't know how I would have survived the day if we hadn't been at the beach. Sunday was just a relaxing day. We stayed inside and tried to stay cool. Monday I worked, and Chris has the day off. Who knows what he did all day. In the evening we went to a couple in our wards place and had pizza and salads and chips and these mini cheesecakes, and played some games. Good times. Finally Tuesday, Canada Day. It was a long day. We woke up early, about 7am and headed off to a free pancake breakfast at the Legislater building. Chris and I went with my friend Brittney. The Muslim Society of Edmonton puts in on, and they do a pretty good job. Chris had to ditch out on us to work, but Brittney and I spent the rest of day pretty much outside and around the legislature grounds. (It is only about a 20 minute walk from both of our places). In the evening we met up again with Chris and Brittney's fiance Kyle. We had cold cut sandwiches for dinner and watched Canadian Bacon to really get us in the Canadian groove. Then we headed back to the Legislature for fireworks, and it was quite the show. I think they were the best fireworks I have seen yet. We had an awesome spot on a hill so we good sit down and they were right in front of us. Some of them even felt like they were going to hit us. They seemed to have had a lot of new stuff this year, and it all looked good and was set up really well.

So thats our weekend. Happy Independence Day to all you Americans!
