Canada Day 2011

Happy Canada Day! I know I'm almost a week late on updating but better late than never right?

Jordan and I were busy during the morning booking our buses and trains for Chicago so we didn't end up going to Fairy Lake until about 3:30pm - when the festivities were mostly over. There was still hundreds of people there but the vendors were packing up and the shows had all been done. Total bummer. I need to plan my holidays better.

We met up with Stephanie and had lunch at Cachet. I love this restaurant. It's so cute and the food there is fantastic. Stephanie got the spinach & artichoke dip and crab cakes, Jordan got a chicken BBQ pizza and I got a lobster croissant. The portions are pretty small but everything is just cooked so well.

Afterwards we walked around for a little bit and sat down. We had fun taking a bunch of pictures and just being outside for the day. We also found a tree and tried to climb it. It took me a good hour or so before I was able to haul myself up there because the first branch was so high up. It's good to know that if I'm ever running away and I need to climb up a tree I probably won't be able to.

We went over to Bayview park afterwards to watch some fireworks. Now usually I don't really care about fireworks because I've seen so many displays already and frankly - they all look the same. But this year they actually came out with a couple new ones (or at least ones I hadn't seen before) and it was a pretty solid 20 minutes of explosions in the sky.
