Catriona loved playing with the kids on the slide.
Cole and his neighbour.
Catriona strikes a pose.
Here she is playing with Jenn.
Cole is doing the BBQing.
The women of the hour: Suzy and Aija.
Aija looks really comfortable in there.
"...and then I pulled down on the lever, and..."
"...zoom, weeeeee... zoom, screech, zoom..."
Action shot on the slide.
People trickle-in regularly. Hello other neighbour!
The baby sling seems to be quite in fashion this year.
Jenn gets in some tickles.
Love that smile!
Hot potato?
Aija is introduced as Cole plays the role of proud father.
Tin Tin shirt - cool.
Catriona enjoyed playing with the other girls.
That's a cute photo.
Catriona is being "demo child" today.
The "I'm not sure where we're going" expression.
We're walking to the fireworks, of course.
The CN Tower is sporting appropriate colours.
A long exposure of Christian laying our our fireworks.
Catriona is happy to sit in a "big girl"'s arms.
On theme.
And, the fireworks begin.
Catriona snuggles in. She described the fireworks as both "pretty" and "funny".
We start small...
...and work our way up to some nice bursts.
I'm constantly playing with exposure settings.
That's neat.
The smoke trails make this one interesting.
Wiz Bang?
The smoke in the air gives a nice lighting effect.
We're building up to the big ones now.
The Grand Finale!
Next, we break our the sparklers!
Nice.
Cole, lighting sparklers for the kids.
And we'll end with a shot of Bea. Happy 141st Birthday, Canada!
