Canada Day

Our first full day in Banff was Canada Day.  What a great place to spend Canada Day.  It just felt right somehow!  I suppose Ottawa would have been even better but this was awesome!  The grounds are beautiful there, and check out the beaver.  It was from the closing ceremonies of the Olympics, pretty cool!

It started with a pancake breakfast and music and face painting.  It was a really long wait for face painting at least 2 hours but it was worth the wait!  Check out these two!

We went back to the campground for lunch and a little break and then off again to see the parade. We took the bus from our campsite which was very cool and an easy way to get downtown.  No searching for parking!   The parade here in Red Deer does not allow throwing of candy but they do in Banff.  Lots of fun!

See the flower in the horse poop?  A clown came and put that flower there but it did not help the smell at all!  And then the truck ran over it which created a lot of stir in the crowd, the poor driver of the truck had no idea what was going on.  Adam insisted that I take a picture of this truck, I guess when you are 7 this is very cool!

Aren’t they looking patriotic?!?  The kids made those shirts at a friends birthday party.  Great timing!
