July 1st is a special day for me. I have great memories of my family and me going to the Canada Day parade in our little town of 10,000 peps. We would patiently wait in the heat, occasionally getting sprayed with water but the best part of the parade was the candy that was thrown off the floats. What kid doesn't want candy? This year we are not going to be in Canada to take part of the festivities. Our hearts are with our Canadian family and friends.

It is a perfect day to celebrate Canada Day.
