Happy Canada Day!

By Tracy | July 2, 2008

I hope everyone enjoyed as wonderful a Canada Day as we did! We took the kids to the hustle and bustle of Canada Day in downtown Ottawa. I think they really enjoyed it. We walked around looking at all the street performers, then walked down to the Locks on the canal.

Wyatt’s favorite part was when we had our picnic lunch on the grass by the Ottawa River where we could see the big tour boats going in and out from the dock. Without fail he announced “Big Boat!” every time the boats would come in again! It was a great spot for lunch.

After that we walked down the bike path beside the Ottawa River. It’s right behind the Parliament Buildings so we had a beautiful view. We walked until the kids both fell asleep for their afternoon naps (Wyatt in the stroller and Maya in the sling). After a while we found a quiet out of the way to stop and let the kids finish napping.

Funny enough Maya woke up soon after we got there and Wyatt napped for a good 30 - 40 mins longer. Maya had fun walking around and exploring that little area while her brother snoozed.
