Fireworks

Actually these are my glow-in-the-dark feet... Jess and I went to support Jeff at a baseball game in Dorval. While we were outside we desperately tried to get sun onto every part of ourselves, since it has been so damp! After lounging around all day in the sun we made a trip to our favorite craft supply store to get some paper and beads for random projects.
After playing creatively we met up with Steve who was in town from Toronto to come see the international fireworks. We decided to eat at a cute little Italian restaurant before heading downtown for the pre-firework Ben and Jerry's.
Throughout dinner Steve and Jess tried to think of creative ways of stealing one of the giant bowls of pasta bowls which decorated the restaurant. Apparently they have been trying to capture one of the giant chickens from Chez Cora as well. I'm guessing that if they will ever succeed at getting one then maybe they can succeed at capturing the other...
It has been a tradition to go to the Old Port to see the firework competition at least once per summer. Last year was particularly spectacular since it was a competition of the top ten winners in the last 30 year. I must admit that this evening's fireworks presented by France left a lot to be desired! They were low to the ground and hard to see. Not even the finale was impressive, which usually leaves the crowd ooing and awing. I think the competition is over for this year, but there's always next year!
