Tourists

The Birthday Boy!
For his birthday dinner, we indulged in a wonderful meal downtown.  We stuffed ourselves senseless then felt a walk was in order.  I often forget that our little one has been born and raised in the country and doesn't often get to see the hustle and beauty of downtown.  She was awed by the Parliament buildings and wants to go back for a tour.

Checking out the eternal flame while Dad teaches Sid some schooly stuff.

Awww, my family!
Insanely intricate and beautiful masonry.
Dad and Sid have another chat down by the river.
Parliamentary bunnies!  I told Sid that if she caught it she could bring it home.  We are still a bunny-less house! (aside from the one in the yard who keeps eating our peas!!!  Why do I have dogs????)


Just about back at the van and the call of Place De Ville's water fountain was just too strong to be ignored.  It was after 9 p.m. and still 28 degrees.  A nice refreshing stroll in the fountain cooled her right down!

Another touristy adventure was a trip to a surprise beach.  We planned to go to this cool water park and then discovered that the drought had caused the river to recede so much that there was now a beach to play at!

Girlfriends!!!
Don't let your feet touch down!
One of our little friends took the experience to an even higher level.  He is Emma's little wild child and very much his own little person.  He is always fun to have around!

Last stop was the beach spa for a mud treatment.  No better way to stay young than to play in the mud!
