Canada Day 2010

Canada Day has come and gone for 2010,but the memories will last forever.

Jake and I spent the afternoon and evening with our son and granddaughter,Steve and Kai.

We went to Winnipeg,the capitol city of Manitoba.

This was the scene in the Jeep as we drove.

Kai was kept busy with her Leapster.

 I had my little point and shoot camera,so these pictures are all from it.

I apologize for the poor quality.

This is a common scene along the highway,

canola fields and elevators.

I wanted to give the frame a soft look and it ended up over the whole picture.

I kind of like that soft focus for this scene.

 Our first stop was at Portage Place,a shopping mall and also the home of the IMAX theater.

The fountain in this mall is a popular attraction.

Steve took my little camera and had some fun with it.

I guess a professional photographer always finds something to shoot.
Thanks,Steve for taking these shots.

Looking up into the roof of the mall,this was the scene he saw.

I like the architectural lines.

 Here is one more of Steve's shots,looking down the mall.

This mall is three stories high and has a lot of unique shops and attractions.

I got my camera back and was able to get this photo of father and daughter sharing a special moment.

We watched a 3D movie at the IMAX,all about Whales and Dolphins.

Kai loved the movie and wanted to reach out and touch these creatures,they seemed so close.

After this we found a small park to have a few snacks and wait for the fireworks.

Kai enjoyed the play structure.

In the next picture I think she was daring Daddy  to go down the slide.

The following pictures are courtesy of Steve at Personal Expressions.
These pictures were taken with an iphone.

The only negative about the day was the extreme heat and later the mosquitoes.
To my US friends ,Happy 4th of July .
I hope you are able to enjoy the celebrations with those you love.
