Took my parents to Steveston for some Canada Day festivities. It was packed. I somehow was lucky enough to score a free parking spot right in the parking lot next to all the tents and sites. There were people parked blocks away or miles away walking in. Not to mention that the bus stops were all loaded with people. The line-up to the ice cream parlor extended out to the street. Same goes for the line-ups to the kettle corn and lemonade stand. It wasn't particularly sunny but the weather held out quite nicely for everyone to enjoy the day outside.

There was a stand selling live sea urchins - 3 for $10. Their spikes aren't sharp. When you touch them, they wiggle around. It's kind of trippy.
We were so full from our sushi lunch and kettle corn from the afternoon, we skipped dinner. My dad bought a pound of shrimp off of one of the boats at Steveston for $4.50. We cooked them with a simple boil (in chinese, it's called "bak churk") and made a couple different dipping sauces. That was our dinner.
So how did you spend your Canada Day?
