Around Edmonton

The kids enjoyed a week in Edmonton, visiting and taking in the local attractions.  Emily was right into the mini golf this year, and took my turns for me. 

Hole-in-One for Matthew!

Lots of time was spent at various playgrounds.  Emily amazed us with her strength swinging from the bar and clapping her feet together...look out Nastia!

Of course you can't beat the baby swings!


As always we have to stop at Chuck E. Cheese once during our visit.  Emily was queen of the merry-go-round, as well as the popcorn game.  

They all had a super time working together on this sand/water toy, making rivers and lakes throughout the sand.

The boys were keen to try some bowling.  Perhaps surprisingly, or not, we had our pick of lanes in the mall basement on the +30 long weekend day.  Andrew did quite well at times, though as he got more fatigued it was amazing to see how slow he could roll it and have it stop right on the lane or in the gutter.

Andrew is very pleased to be ready to try our friends' new Slip & Slide.

Everyone loves the old Kinsmen pony!
