Canada Day!

Yesterday (July 1) was Canada Day. I was told that Canada day meant it's Canada's birthday. Canada turned 141 years old this year. Being here and celebrating Canada day made me realize how much loyalty (and love) Canadians have for their country. Flags are everywhere and one can feel the pride and spirit of being Canadian in the smallest things. Julia and I celebrated the day walking downtown with her grandma Mary and grandpa Stan. It was a beautiful day! I can't wait for next year's Canada day to come again. Sharing some pictures below:

Julia was captivated by the young musicians who sang their heart out and were quite great. Her Canada flag was given by one of the people we passed by. I find that most of the senior folks here in Victoria treat children like gold nuggets. Julia always gets a lot of affection, freebies and greetings from senior strangers.

Even the babies (and tired parents) joined the celebration
