What are you doing for Canada Day?

[Robeano]

I'm planning on heading out to Fort George to listen to music and watch fireworks while having a picnic with my hubby our girls and a bunch of my friends! Ya Canada!!!

[Bluedaisy]

Hoping to have a newborn so absolutely nothing (although that's what I usually do anyways).

[miniwheat]

We are going to our local Canada Day events wearing our new Canada Day t-shirts (Cause I am a nerd like that!) After we will BBQ, have a Canada Day cake and have some small fireworks at home. My kids are still a little afraid of the noise at the big fireworks display so we will skip those for a couple more years.

[Robeano]

Bluedaisy still no baby eh? Hope it comes soon!

[Robeano]

miniwheat well call me a nerd too cuz I love buying Canada day shirts, and tons of other Canada stuff!

Nope....I'm starting to think he's going to wait until Canada day....

[flutterfly88]

Not much, probably staying home, eating red and white tortilla chips and watching a Canadian movie or movie with a Canadian actor.

[Robeano]

flutterfly88 I recommend Strange Brew or Canadian Bacon. (both are filmed close to where I live lol)

[tiffbot]

We'll head out to some festivities either in the city or a nearby town for a bit. You can add me to the buying my family new Canada clothes haha, DD is only going to be almost 4 weeks old and DS didn't have anything so I just had to! It's DS's birthday weekend right after too so will be a busy fun week!

[miniwheat]

flutterfly88, Can I pick your movie? The Great Outdoors is my favourite!

[wineandcake]

Depends on if this baby decides to show up then or not. If he holds on, I'm going to take DS to our town Canada day event at the beach - cake, music, bouncy house, and playing in the sand. H works that day, but him and his work partner like to be at all town events so they'll likely join us.

I'm kind of hoping I get lucky and have a baby then though

miniwheat, The Great Outdoors is one of my favourites! I was actually just saying we should watch it again!

I don't think I've seen that one. What is it about?

[Robeano]

Separate note. Anybody else seen Gunless? It's a Paul Gross movie and it's awesome!

Is it on netflix? My Canadian movie collection is seriously lacking. I'll probably end up binge watching Flashpoint, and then the new episode of Rookie Blue that airs that night.

Looking for a parade to take the kiddos to and maybe visiting family.

It's about a family on vacation at a lake house.  It's John Candy and Dan Akroyd and it's absolutely hysterical.

[Bluedaisy]

Looks like I might still be pregnant....in that case it might be a girly date to see Magic Mike in the theatre. Maybe baby will hate it so much he will try to escape

I feel like this is almost exactly what I said on the thread asking what our Victoria Day weekend plans were haha.  Hope Magic Mike gets your labour going haha.

We're going to the heritage museum/ farm nearby and having a picnic. I love there's not super crowds there. Of course, this is all in theory, they're calling for rain all day tomorrow, ugh.

[Lollipop]

Heading to the legislature grounds in the afternoon, with my sister and her BF, and then the "smaller" fireworks at night. H works, and has one if his game nights, so he won't be joining us. My mom might join us.

We have no Canada day clothes. S had a couple of shirts, but they're too small now.

I'm pretty excited to go wading and cool off some.

That sucks. At least you got time and a half

I spent the day with DH and kids in our home. We cooked, played and did a bit of rearranging in our house. Here are a few other things that could have been a way to celebrate Canada Day, www.flowerscanada.com/blog/canadian-colors/celebrate-canada-with-canadian-colors/.
