Some random thoughts:

• We got there just as the 21 gun salute started. I should regain my hearing by Canada Day 2012.
• The marching band was excellent. They started their 30 minute set playing the national anthem (O Canada) and then followed it up with the other national anthem (The Old Hockey Night In Canada Theme).
• The line to get into the Legislature was enormous. There were thousands of people out.
• Believe it or not, despite working in the Legislature, I'd never been in the chamber before. I made sure to snap a picture of my boss's seat.
• People are awe-inspired by the Alberta Legislature. It's a beautiful place.
• The dog show was tremendously fun. The kids had a blast.
• Next Canada Day, if you want something to do, go to the Legislature!

Bunnies! Camping! Vacation!

Two of the hundreds of "wild" rabbits that roam the Dinosaur RV Campground in Drumheller, where we spent the long weekend.

My wife took these pictures last weekend while on a band trip with my older daughter. I put them into a panorama this morning.
