Canada Day

This Canada Day long weekend we just stuck close to home. Over the last few months, we have taken a number of weekend trips; so I was happy to have a stay-cation.  Sunday was a beautiful day - we went down to the lake and then had a picnic in our backyard.  Sunday night we enjoyed a party at our neighbour's house. 
 
Monday, we went to Centre Island.  It was overcast but Maya and Aidan had a fun time.  With all the walking, it was quite tiring so we weren't up to staying up really late for the fireworks in Port Credit.  Instead, we just lit some sparklers in the backyard.  This was Maya's first time having sparklers so she was quite thrilled!
 
  Here are a few photos of the kids in their crazy festive hats and playing with the sparklers before they went to bed....
 
 
 




I took this one without a flash - and then lightened it up in Photoshop - kind of interesting....
