Fete du Canada Day - Ottawa

Spent the day in our nation's capital 🍁🎆. Parked at Morgan's and he drove us to the train station. Caught the RCAF fly over as we headed to LeBreton flats. Amy made a dinner reservation in the Byward market, but we spent the whole day on the grounds because it seemed like a hassle to leave and come back. Line ups were intense. Amy and Willow spent almost two hours in line for arm tattoos and the boys jumped in line at the end. Claimed a shady spot toward the stage and hung out til the show started. At one point Weston shouted "Noel!", we assumed it was a joke or mistake, but when we looked up... There he was! We caught up quickly and he headed off to rejoin his group. The show and fireworks were pretty impressive. Leaving the city felt like an adventure in itself! Everyone one that was there for the celebration made an exit from the city at the same time. The city did a great job of keeping the heard heading in the right direction, which was towards the trains in whatever direction you needed to go. We were lucky to have Morgan picking us up at the station to give us a lift back to our truck. He almost left while Weston was half in the car but he managed to get his body fully in and we zoomed away. It was a long day but a worthwhile experience!Read more
