Canada Day

It was Canada Day on the 1st and we had so much fun doing stuff all together. Greg has been putting in some pretty intense hours so we can go on a much needed vacation, but that means we don't see him sometimes until breakfast the next morning because he'll roll in at 9 or 10 each night. Anyway, it was great to have the whole day together. We were going to try something new this year or maybe a new venue but Chloe was telling Tati about all the cool things they'd see at Festival Park so in the end we decided to go there again. It is just so fun and family friendly that we couldn't resist.

The girls got their spray tattoos that they love so much. Tati got a fairy and Chloe got dolphins (again).


Then they played inside of the butterfly pavillion which turned out to be a bit depressing because Tati wasn't the only coo-koo inside and there were dead butterflies all over the ground and Tati kept grabbing their wings and telling me, "Look Mom, isn't this powder stuff WEIRD?!" and I had to keep explaining how she was killing them.



We packed a picnic this year and found a nice, quiet place on the grass to eat it. Greg was being all artistic like and took a diagonal shot. Whew, whew! Way to work the camera, Greg!
Gavin ate first and layed down and enjoyed a few minutes with the girls on the blanket.

And we even treated ourselves to some cotton candy. In the past, Tati has always said that cotton candy is gross but suddenly she thought it was the most delicious thing she ever tasted. It was pretty delicious. I am a sucker for cotton candy. And of course we named our cotton candy. We name everything. I guess I shouldn't be surprised when the girls are naming mosquitos before they smash them. Anyway, our cotton candy's name was "Marge" and hopefully you can see why.

And that's pretty much it, all of it, or the end.
