Enjoying Canada's Birthday


It is a week late but better late than never! I wanted to share a montage of pictures from the July 1st Canada Day celebration I went to in Kamloops, BC. We spent the better part of the day in the beautiful Riverside Park where attendance was one of the largest ever to turn out for the event.

There was music, ethnic foods, official presentations, cultural events and dance, arts and crafts, face painting and water games and people just generally lazing around in the park.


One of the newly elected federal politicians tattooed my niece's face with the Canadian flag after a late lunch of Chinese food and a cool down snack of ice cream. We then headed to the main band stand where we thoroughly enjoyed some Taiko drumming music (see the short video below).






My niece enjoyed some cotton candy before heading home. These kind of days remind me of when I was a child and I so looked forward to the annual carnival. When the carnival came to town we enjoyed rides and "exotic food" like corn on the cob, candy apples, popcorn, corn dogs & cotton candy. It gives me joy watching other children enjoy the same things.

Live Fully


For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.


Isaiah 55:12


DANCE


REST


GET RETAIL THERAPY


SLEEP A LITTLE


KISS A LOT


RELAX IN NATURE


HAVE FUN


GIGGLE A LOT


SCREAM AT THE TOP OF YOUR VOICE


TAKE A BUBBLE BATH


AND BE HAPPY
DO YOU FEEL LIKE WORKING TODAY?

TOMORROW?
NEXT WEEK?
NEXT MONTH?

Me Neither!
I just want to party!



You have a great day!
Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly!
Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably
And never regret anything that made you smile.
