It was a full day, but the best was yet to come. After dinner we all went in to the village of Tignish to watch the Canada Day Parade. While we waited for the parade to begin we bought ice cream cones from Judy’s take out. Eli, the independent, was insistant on eating his own cone (although he did accept some help), and somehow managed to get only modestly sticky.
Once the parade beagn the boys were so excited to see the police cars, fire engines, potato trucks and of course all of the floats. The floats were especially fun because the theme of this year’s parade was inexplicably “pirates”. Each of the 30 or so floats had some sort of pirate on board. It was a little strange, but the boys loved it! Eli practiced his new found waving ability and used the opportunity to wave at every one in the parade. And Evan was the lucky recipent of a very cool cardboard pirate hat that a little girl from one the floats gave to him. He was delighted, and he looked adorable! He immediately put it on and kept it on until we got home.
After the parade, the boys got their bathes and into their jammies and then Grandma and Grampy took Evan to see the fireworks. It was the perfect end to a blonde’s summer day!
