100 Years of Motorized Flight in Canada

Well last Sunday, my sister Lorraine and Aunt Ann made our way to Baddeck to witness the reenactment of the flight of the Silver Dart on Baddeck Bay. It was a beautiful sunny day and one day earlier than the actual flight day that was Feb 23, 1909. However par for our winter it was calling for our 11th major storm of the season on Monday and it didn't disappoint.
However Sunday made up for it. We stood on the frozen lake for approx 2.5 hours. The wind was strong and cold but we were dressed for it. The buzz and excitement was awesome and more amazing it flew. It was hard to get good pictures because as soon as I would get settled in a good spot a crowd would move and stand in front.
Dispite the cold and minor frustration in picture taking(it was so cold my Aunt's camera froze up)
