So day 2 of our long weekend! still
in Calgary annnnd we have nothing planned. We have something but it’s for
dinner so we have all day to just go anywhere we want. I didn’t honestly want
to go to the zoo as I thought it would be lame but NOT.
It was so big, and as a kid I was in
a school who didn’t have field trips, this is the biggest zoo I have ever been
in (I’ve been in 3 so far, 1 zoo, 2 aquariums) Coming into the zoo, the first thing
you see is a penguin. Like literally A penguin as in 1 penguin. So i was like,
what the?! and then we followed the penguin foot prints leading indoors and
viola. Oh my goodness there were like tons of penguins! different kinds too.
They are so cute! We spent the whole day in that zoo. We have literally have
seen every animal in Madagascar and one other animal-filled movie I just can’t
remember what. Most of the animals were sleeping, since we came by afternoon
but still I enjoyed it! It was fun! Oh right! We went to the zoo because
of the kids, yeah they enjoyed it too. :P
-till the next adventure!!
It is the long weekend and to be
honest I just really needed to get away. In fact, I booked a hotel out of town
in advance even before telling them I wanted to go just because, it is free
cancellation so I was like what the heck if they don’t want to go ill just
cancel it, but as it turns out everybody wanted to go, somewhere at least...
We changed plans like 3 times but eventually we got into a decision. so
here we are, Drumheller, AB, the home of the dinosaurs.
The whole place is just amazing, (I
have to learn some new adjectives, but it is) They said that before, the whole
place was under water as the rocks over there are the ones that can only be
found under the sea. Being under those huge rocks is just surreal like I’m
going to have a heart attack thinking if water came back or something like that
happens again. So the drive there is always nice, steady with the right amount
of adrenaline. There is also a museum where they display the dug up bones of
the dinosaurs that roamed around the area before. The kids had a lot of fun and
I guess they’re not scared of dinosaur bones? I thought they would be. So yeah
after Drumheller we went to Calgary
I booked us a room at Best Western
Port O’ Call hotel. It has a water park inside!
I love booking in Best Western, they are friendly and they're amenities
are always reasonably priced and worth more than what you pay for to be honest.
The real story is actually when we
were at the waterpark, there were 2 giant slides and then our 2-year-old Ava
just said, out of the blue, without anyone pushing her to do it, she wanted to
try it. So we did. She tried both slides but we are still learning go pro so we
didn’t get both of it on video... sorry Babs, anyway... here are the photos!
-till the next adventure!!
What are we now movie #4 this
year?
So anyway, it is Batman vs.
Superman. This one is really hyped for a long time and it’s supposed to be
really good. I mean it’s two super heroes of all time - in one movie! And they’re against each other
like whaaaat?! but unfortunately, I slept a little bit in the movie. It was
just too long and drag-y for the most
parts. I hated how they switched focus between batman and superman, I just felt
like it wasn’t smooth enough. Also, the introduction of the whole franchise
like the future movies, was yes mind blowing but, I don’t know it just felt off... there was just too many things
going on in the movie... I am all about the superheroes (or maybe I am just
really a marvel kind of girl) but... I just didn’t like it enough... maybe I’ll
watch it again in the future and I’ll let you guys know.
Disclaimer: not a movie critic so
what do I know?!
-till the next adventure!!
It’s a thing you guys!
haha I didn’t really believe it till
I got here, but being here for 4 winters already yup. it’s true. but we had fun
with it anyway.
We brought the kids to the
playground! there's one near our house but for some reason it is locked, like
nobody can get in... and I promised these kids a playground so I drove them to
one. This is at Capilano behind our old apartment. ahhh memories. anyway, enjoy
the photo dump!
-till the next adventure!!
I said it in a few posts back that
there is really nothing happening here in Edmonton so whenever there is a
happening, I make it a point to go! so here's another one:
Mom, Pop and Tots Fair or as the
kids came to call it, Dora day!
I just saw this at the newspaper one
time and thought, “hey it would be fun to bring the kids here!” The ad said
there's going to be a petting farm, mule carousel rides and a real life size Dora
the explorer with her friend boots! I didn’t know what it was actually about I
just came in for the fun! And the kids did have fun! (ok so did the
grown-ups, I came with my 2 Marco)
-till the next adventure!!
Another
movie but this time with the kids!
An
automatic fave, Zootopia is a movie about a bunny Judy Hops, who in spite of
being a cute tiny little rabbit, wants to be a cop in this perfect world where
prey and predator lives peacefully. She came from a small town and when she
graduated top of her class she was shipped to the big city of zootopia. The
movie is fun for the kids and even for me! but as I said before not a movie
critic and easily pleased so what do I know? :)) the movie didn’t drag for too
long but our 2-year- old ava felt asleep mid movie but in the movies defense it
was her bed time... hahaha
BTW the song by shakira "try everything" was an instant hit for me. LSS alert!
-till the
next adventure!
