Even though the weather was miserable, our small town still put on a Canada Day Parade. We went with some friends of ours, and the kids got so much candy. Jacob got 2 freezies and a pocket full of candy. Some kids got bag fulls. He was so cute copying the other kids and picking up the candy off the ground.
I was all set to spend at least an hour watching the parade. That is what I am used to from the Peach fest parade. We had our chairs set up, I had snacks ready for Jacob, and the thing lasted about 10 minutes. After that we put Jacob down for a nap, then there was a free community barbeque that was moved to an empty warehouse because of the weather. We then went over to friends house and had a few drinks and pizza. It is so nice to have friends and just hang out somewhere besides our apartment. Jacob enjoyed playing with the kids, although he did get pushed and bumped his head on the corner of the door jam. He got a major goose egg on his forehead and the boy's mom felt so bad. The boy is almost 2, so I understand it is a wonderful characteristic of terrible twos. Today Jacob's head has a small scratch, and is barely bruised. He heals quickly.
We have had such terrible weather here. I cant believe it is July and we are all wearing pants and jackets. I cant wait until we come home in 2 weeks.
Today we went to a Regional Park that is about a half hour south of town. Jacob loves to be outside, so even though the weather was not great, we took him to play at the lake. Jacob had fun throwing rocks and sticks into the water. This lake is not swimmable, but it would be a nice place to have a picnic and a fire.

I am so hot I can barely survive! We are heading out in a bit for an after dinner swim! Somewhere in the middle would be nice...no pants and coat, and no sweltering to death! Don't forget to bring your sunblock when you come!!!
Great parade pics.
Glad you are making friends and sounds like you have a nice community - however the weather sucks... I wish for sun for you soon. :)
