Yesterday was Canada Day, and we went to see the fireworks display at the Barrie lakefront. The fireworks were great, but a little too short as usual! I know they can't afford to spend too much money on them when there are more important things (like construction!) but I would like to spend a little longer on the beach watching the fireworks.
We noticed a new fad yesterday while at the beach. There were a lot of people wearing their Canada flags in their hair! I'm not sure when this started, but I guess people buy them and then realize that they don't have anywhere else to put them. It makes for an interesting, but patriotic look.
It's also interesting how many kids think Canada Day is supposed to be celebrated with marijuana. The smell of it was so strong in a few places, I could barely breathe!
I loved walking along the lakeshore and hearing little snippets of conversations as people flitted by me. " I had a boyfriend, and then I got rid of him!" Let's hope she means they broke up! ;) "It's only 9:54!" (the fireworks were supposed to start at 10pm, so I don't know what she thought she had time for with 6 minutes to go!)
All in all it was a great night - not too hot or cold, just perfect. Afterwards I stayed up until after 3am with friends, talking - not a smart move when you have to work the next day by the way!)
Happy birthday Canada!
Happy Canada Day!
