Changing of the Guard


Monday, August 13 2018

Maman and Papa were both working today so Grandpa, Barbara and Grant met the boys at the Mill.  Soon we were hiking to the Parliament Buildings to watch the Changing of the Guard Ceremony. The kids were attentive and listened to the explanatory broadcast. (Barbara did not like the big garbage trucks passing by the ceremony.














After the guards marched out, we hiked to the back of the Parliament Buildings. The boys liked to look down at activities on the Ottawa River. David spotted a biplane going overhead.




Then we checked out the eternal flame – lots of questions about how it could burn in water.  The boys found their province emblem and threw some coins in there.



Then it was time to head back to the car.  Highlights were construction equipment at the West Block and the water fountain at the National Library.



Back home the boys checked out enjoyed the water fountain in the backyard.
