Happy Canada Day! We started the day with a great breakfast at the picnic table on shore. Emily and Alice slept until close to noon\u2014no surprise there\u2014that is their normal modus operandi. Oh to be 15 again! When the girls got up I put them to work right away\u2014blowing up the dingy! It\u2019s time to go exploring and with mooring spaces all gone, the dingy is the ideal way to do some exploring by water.<\/div>\n

Catherine and Mary and the girls set out on foot while I fiddled with the dingy, getting it ready to launch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
How hot is it? HOT,HOT, HOT! What a difference from last year when it rained every other day and was always cold. I am very fortunate that I have had such great weather for this journey.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I hope my luck continues. As the sun began to set, we headed towards the \u201cclothing optional\u201d beach to watch the Toronto fireworks show, which is staged from a freighter anchored in front of Ontario Place.<\/p>\n

There are hoards of other boaters headed the same way and as soon as we all hit the beach the \u201cnudies\u201d split the scene. Oh well, it was too dark to see anything anyway.<\/p><\/div>\n

The fireworks show was awesome! It lasted about 45 minutes and we had a perfect view of it from the beach.<\/div>\n
