As I'm sure a good portion of the country did, we celebrate our beloved Canada's birthday on Tuesday. My friend Natalie and I arranged a BBQ on the beach down in Oak Bay for some friends then we made our way into Victoria for the crowd and fireworks.

The Gang at Willows Beach in Oak Bay taking in the sunshine.
Just after we ate, Trevor noticed a soccer ball floating off in the distance, and before I could blink he was stripped to his boxers and running into the ocean. He got about 30 feet out until turning around, frozen and breathless. Colin also made a valiant effort but it was Daniel who swam all the way out to the ball and brought it back. He was using the ball to help him stay afloat it was so cold!

Becca and Dan had their cartoon drawn by one of the artists in the harbour.

Capped it all off with some great fireworks.
We have been taking in the Canada Day festivities in Victoria for many years now and while I've never been to a celebration anywhere else, I am convinced that there is no where else that can party like downtown Victoria BC on Canada Day!
