Canada's 150th Birthday

Happy Birthday Canada! Ordinarily we are in Prince George for Canada day but this year the last day of school was on June 30th and we would have had to travel on July 1st. This seemed like a bad idea for the 150th birthday so instead we stayed home. Surrey has one of the largest Canada day celebrations in Canada and it's only 10 minutes from our house in Cloverdale. It has a similar feel to the one in Prince George only much bigger. A main stage, lot's of food and people everywhere.
We don't enjoy packed crowds so we went early with an unlikely intention to go back again later for the concerts and the fireworks. Parking was pretty easy and the lines at the rides were manageable. The prices however were not. Almost six dollars for each ride. Carter thoroughly enjoyed one that whipped people around pretty good. First with a friend and then with Kerry. When Kerry was on the ride her hair was almost horizontal. We finished the day with lunch at the food trucks and as expected decided not to go back for Chilliwack and Hedley.
