I get in trouble every year when it is Canada Day on the first of July and forget to tell Derek Happy Canada Day! He thinks I should celebrate it like his birthday or something, but I guess that Canadian pride is extreme in other parts of the US. Derek found online a group of Canadians that have been doing a Canada Day parade for the past three years just for fun and anyone who was Canadian could be in the parade. Derek got really excited about this. It was quite cute:) He was most excited how excited the kids would be to be in a parade. When we told the kids, they almost exploded! "We get to be IN a parade?!!!" I just giggled, because I thought it would be just a little parade where hardly anyone came. BOY WAS I WRONG! The parade went on for 2 hours and there was not an empty spot the entire way! Now that I call Extreme Canadian pride!
The kids had SO much fun being a part of a parade. Too bad they only had candy for the first ten minutes, but I had no idea that they would have needed more! I was so happy that they got to have that much fun with their daddy:) We will be having this tradition every year. I just love my little Canadian Bunch!
