Opening Ceremonies

We arrived in Summerside P.E.I. early enough to hit the Information Center and do a little walk around one of the cute little villages.




We climbed the lighthouse and enjoyed the view.




Off to the opening ceremonies.



Meeting the Canada Games Mascots Abby and Eddy.


Watching the Govenor General come in....or as Riley calls her "The Queen."



The athletes marched in for over an hour. It was a thrill to spot daddy with Team Ontario.





We paid $66.00 for Cooper's seat (money we eventually got back thanks to Jason) so we made sure he sat in it for a minute.



All the athletes paraded in. Time for the show. The show was full of speeches, dancers, speeches, musicians, speeches, blessings and did I mention speeches?





We spent 22 hours in a car, Simon NEVER napped. We go into the Opening Ceremonies and..... you guessed it......



The Summer Games are offically open.





Jason came over to visit the kids and to give them some more Ontario gear.
