Canada Day - Evening

The joke is on us. I had hoped to capture the beautiful Canada Day fireworks in a picture to share with you all. We planned the entire day around staying up until 10:45 to watch the Canada Day fireworks downtown. You all know that is a stretch for me since I am usually asleep by 9:00. Since the patio has a great view of downtown, we strategically places our chairs so that we had a perfect view, or so we thought. We are really spoiled because we thought the fireworks in Calgary for Canada Day would be like the fireworks in Houston for the 4th of July. We were very wrong. All we saw from the patio was an orange glow and a cloud of white smoke. We faintly heard some fireworks but we could see nothing. The buildings blocked our view of everything. We were bummed but kind of laughed to ourselves. I am not sure about everything being bigger in Texas but the fireworks displays sure seem to be. Enjoy the 4th of July fireworks for us this year!
