We rented a car in Regina (hooray for a double bump up to the size of vehicle we really needed!), then drove to Edmonton with friends for some fun at the West Edmonton Mall. First stop, the water park. I think we went in the wave pool first. Then we all played in the kids' water structure area for a while (bridges, dumping water and such), then Logan was just too cold and it was just too loud and he just didn't like water being dumped on him. So we went to the dolphin pool, where it was shallow and warm. I couldn't complain. The others went back into the wave pool for quite a while, but Logan was just too cold. He was quite content to watch all the action wrapped up in a nice warm towel. And I got to dry off and take some pictures!
The next day it was time for some rides for the kids. This ride was Liam's favourite 2 years ago. Interestingly, back then (oh, so long ago!) his favourite vehicle on this ride was the yellow bulldozer, and this time, it was Logan's.
After the boys said goodbye, we drove to Waskesiu. There was golfing, ice cream, walks.... The highlight for Liam and Logan? Fishing with Grandma and Grandpa! And the boys had so much patience; they just kept fishing!
Back to Regina, for walks to playgrounds with Grandad and Grandpa, feeding ducks with Grandad and Marilyn, visiting relatives, watching movies and going to the Science Centre with Grandma.
A bonus day in Ottawa on the way back, since our flights got changed to the scenic tour and we'd rather not spend that much time taking off and landing and waiting.
All in all, a good trip. We got to visit lots of people and missed a few. Then, back to the reality of planning a move and, gasp, our trip out in October. But the move first. Unless something comes along that we just can't pass up!
