Canada Day!

Yesterday was my first Canada Day celebration in Canada! Haha! My husband and I relaxed most of the day, since it was quite hot, then we ventured out to the festivities downtown Vancouver! We took the Skytrain since parking is a headache downtown. We arrived just in time for the parade to start! I haven't seen a parade since Leavenworth's Autumn Leaf Festival so this was exciting. I don't think my husband was as excited haha! I love seeing a parade in another country. The beginning had all the military and police force marching down the street, it was so cool. The rest of the parade was mostly different nationalities and countries...China, Japan, Korea, etc. There are a lot if Asian immigrants in the Vancouver area, so was kinda cool and interesting to see! Then we walked down to the waterfront after for the firework show which started at 10:30, when it got dark. It was so awesome :) My phone died before the finale so I didn't get any pictures of that, but it was such a great finish. Then everyone started singing: "Oh, Canada" which I suspected was gonna happen haha! We then got lost in the crowd to make our way back home. There was masses of people!! The Skytrain was packed...like squished in next to the people around you, it was cray-cray! But we survived and it was great first Canada Day celebration for me :) Happy Canada Day! (Now onto the 4th of July! Woohoo!!)
