Happy Canada Day!

Today is Canada Day! This year there will be no large celebrations on Parliament Hill here in Ottawa, the nation's capital - because of the pandemic...

In normal years, festivities continue all day. Free buses bring people downtown. Many are dressed in red and white, the colors of Canada's flag...

Another tradition is Canada flag stickers stuck on faces... or arms!

Not sure why my youngest son looks annoyed in this photo taken downtown on Canada Day when he was young... Maybe he was hot and tired after walking around...

Once, when he was even younger, we lost him in the crowds! That caused panic!

Fortunately, he was just a few steps ahead of us.

We didn't take the kids downtown on Canada Day for quite a few years after that scare.

Canada Day memories!!
