This is us waiting outside the Information Centre for the flag raising ceremony to begin.
Canada is celebrating it's 144th birthday of being a nation. The theme in Jasper this year was Exploration.
The little Mounties had the aww factor.
It's not a birthday party without cake! In the blink of an eye, there was a queue up the street for this cake.
The beaver was on top of the cake. This is the closest we've come to actually seeing a beaver.
This lady slicing the cake is the local baker that made it.
While we waited for the parade to start we watched a lady making giant bubbles and all the children had a great time popping them.
The beginning of the parade.
The local school orchestra.
This couple didn't seem to mind sitting in a canoe on the back of a lorry, they threw themselves into it.
We just had to take a picture of the beautiful horses.
I bet it was hot in there!
Caught Dad enjoying himself.
Large crowds enjoyed the parade. All the floats threw sweets and badges for the kids to pick up.
We went to Centennial Park to join in the BBQ and watched the tug of war and other family activities. We hope to go back later to watch some live bands, drink some beer and see the firework display.
We loved this barbequer with his fire department hat on. We think we're going to get Dad one for when he does BBQs.
The great delight on Sophie's face; not only were they giving slush puppies away but you could make them yourself.
We watched all the kids making multi coloured drinks so followed their lead.
Just a few sweets that were thrown into the crowd during the parade.
