Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada Day! I'm going to try to get my kids to bike with me 10km on gravel roads+grassy highway shoulder 4x4 trail to the nearest town. There is a pancake breakfast and a ridiculous cheesy Canada Day parade waiting at the end if we manage it in less than 2 hours... this will be challenging! Wish us luck!

It took FOREVER AND A HALF. My kids bike slower than I knew was possible, plus I got my first flat tire on my new-ish bike halfway there, and had to call in a rescue mission from my partner (brought new tube and we kept on).
So even though it was slow and took WAY longer than I expected (and I seem to have applied sunscreen to myself badly and have random sunburned patches), it was a completely pleasant ride and I think my kids enjoyed it as much as I did, so yay for more bike rides with kids!

The parade was equal parts delightfully small-town cheesy and rather uncomfortable (oh my rural Saskatchewan is white white white). The hours(!) of biking slowly on dirt roads and appreciating the land I live on was definitely the highlight of Canada Day.
Here's an organization (that I share my land through) that is taking a better direction toward fulfilling the treaties in Canada: https://treatylandsharingnetwork.ca/
