Edmonton Day 2 - World Water Park

Today was a fun, full day of waterpark adventures. We woke up after a fairly warm night in our hotel room and had some quick breakfast and headed out to West-Ed. The kids were pretty excited about going swimming and were pretty amazed to see how big the pool was. We spent a lot of the morning in the kiddie pool and hot-tub while the dads went watersliding. We all attempted to go on the tube slide at one point and Lucy had a bit of a mishap and flipped on her tube, scaring her greatly (and me as well) as well as scraping up her back a bit. She was not impressed and was quick to tell everyone about it. We did enjoy Carribean Cove - a kids splash park. After some fuel-up lunch, the kids enjoyed some more sliding and playing around with aunties and uncles - mom took some time to sit and relax. Lucy was finally convinced to try another slide and even went down all by herself. What a brave girl. I thought we'd be done and out of there by 3pm, but the kids had enough stamina to last them until 5. We showered up and headed into the mall to check a few things out and go for dinner at 6pm at Old Spaghetti Factory. Grandma was helpful in passing the time by suggesting we play the animal alphabet game. It lasted through dinner and helped the kids wait for their food and enjoy a pleasant meal. As we were preparing to leave, Max asked Uncle Barrett for some money to throw in the fountain. Kari told him he needed to make a wish first before he threw it. He said he wished that he wouldn't drop the money on the floor. Pretty classic. We're all pretty exhausted, but glad we had such a fun day. Tomorrow the plan is to head to Galaxy Land for some rides and to do some West-Ed shopping. Hopefully we'll get to see the Sea Lion show as well.
