Happy Canada Day!

yesterday.....

I was much too tired after the festivities to post last night so here we are!

Canada Day started out as a normal day since nothing goes on in the mornings. So Brianna had her schoolwork, Olivia had nap, then we had lunch. THEN it was time to pull out the Canada Day fun! We got dressed in our Canada Day outfits (or just red clothes in mine and Lee's case), tattoos applied (even for Olivia!), hair done up (well, Lee wouldn't let me do his lol) and off we go!

We went down to the park where Brianna saw those big blow up playground things. We said she couldn't go cause the lines were miles long! Maybe later. We saw Auntie Lisa at her volunteer post in the bingo tent and then went to see some petting zoo animals. Brianna was thrilled to feed them and even saw a pink chicken (her fave!). Olivia wasn't too sure about these big animals but she was keeping a close eye on them!

We went back to the house for Olivia to nap and Brianna went 2 doors down to play with some kids visiting. Lisa and Steph showed up for BBQ and fireworks. After the baby woke up Lee took her for a bit of a walk, when he came back he said the lines at the blow up things we're a lot shorter so he'd take Brianna back. Unfortunately the reason they were so short was because they were about to close :( Poor Brianna

We did up a huge BBQ and sat around chatting waiting for the fireworks. I put Olivia down and she actually went down easy so I figured great! No problems later. WRONG! I went inside to get a drink at 9:30pm and she must have heard me and woke up and started fussing. I sent Lee up to try to get her back down, what does he do? Brings her outside! So Olivia got to see her first fireworks. She was totally enthralled! I figured the loud noise would scare her but no way!

Thankfully once all was done we had no problems putting the girls to bed. I was pooped! I went straight to bed and I think I fell asleep before my head hit the pillow.
