We have been so busy! We, along with my parents, decided to head to Calgary for a mini "vacation". Or what we thought would be a vacation....
So we drove, mom and dad took their trailer which was a blessing as we wouldn't have to pay for pricey hotel rooms, but it meant that the trip would take a bit longer....
We left Regina on Friday evening, stayed the night in Medicine Hat, and then got to Calgary around 11 on Saturday morning.... like I said a bit longer of a drive.... And it wouldn't have been too bad, had we not had a four-year-old asking every thirty seconds, "where are we going??", or " are we going to Calgary???" That made it a very long drive!
We decided to go to the Zoo first. It was beautiful out, and that's what Zacharie really wanted to see! Not the greatest idea for the first long weekend of the summer! It was so congested! And each exhibit, was so stuffy!!! Zacharie really enjoyed it, except that he was afraid of almost every animal he came in sight of. Ethan loved the tigers, and kept calling " kitty, kitty, meow, meow" at them, and they would come by where he was. He loved it!
After the Zoo, we were all tired, and grumpy and hungry! We headed to Olive Garden, which if you have never been there, you should try! It was awesome, and the service there was great too. The only part that was somewhat unenjoyable, was the wait to get in.
So on Sunday we went to Heritage Park. We rode the train, which again the boys loved! Toured around the farm, and all the old buildings. The boys even got put in jail! We rode on the ferrie, and the kids rode on some of the rides on the Midway. We all enjoyed the beautiful day, and only the kids ended up not being sunburned! Next time we go, we will plan for more time, so we get to see everything!
All in all the weekend was great, but not very relaxing!
