vacation part 4



So we headed out to Fort Saskatchewan Where my cousin Lindsey and her husband tilton live and we stayed the night with them. We had a blast. It was fin to re-connect with Lindsey. It has been a few years since I had seen her little family and it has grown a bunch. Libby had fun playing with her oldest Brooklyn and following the boys around. After putting the kids in bed and then finishing Marshall’s class (online so he can take it anywhere). We ate lots of yummy treats and played a bunch of fun games. We stayed up late but really enjoyed ourselves. The next morning we ate breakfast and ho hummed around the house until the mall opened. It was nice to just sit and have fun with tilton and Lindsey.


We packed the car and headed to West Edmonton Mall. If you have never heard of this mall it has a theme park, water park, indoor lake, sea cavern, a sea lion exhibit, 2 mini gold courses, ice skating arena, bowling ally, bourbon street, Chinatown, eropa Blvd,Regular mall. It is large.

Are plan was to just go to the galexyland theme park. It ended up that Libby was free and 1 adult rider was free too. So Libby got to ride 8 different rides with an adult for free. We had a lot of fun. She rode the same ride 3 or 4 times and loved the little train ride. But had a lot of fun watching the big roller coasters she screamed with all the riders it was fun to watch.

We also took her to see the aquarium; she loved the penguins and the fishes. She saw sharks (which she is fascinated with currently). We watched some ice skaters and she loved to see how they can go in circles and wanted to sit and watch them for a while.

She only had like 3-4 melt downs in the few hours we were there. Her sleep was really off and she did not want to eat food. So a not so fun Libby went to play.

We went to lunch and she ended up only eating celery sticks for lunch.

After lunch and then the galaxy land we thought what the heck we will get ice cream (it was 25$) Libby got a milk shake and Marshall and I got flavored bowls. Not worth that much money next time we won’t get some inside the mall.

Libby didn’t touch hers and only wanted Marshalls I love the 2 fisting it into her mouth.

We left Edmonton and headed south. To the Okotoks to stay with Mitch and Marcie.

We stopped at some place in innisfail, at some family dinner. Ordered chicken and fries and still she wouldn’t eat.

So her intake for the day was: 2 pancakes, 2 chocolate chip cookies, 1 celery stick, 1 bowl of ice cream, ½ a piece of garlic bread, and a bite of chicken.

Still no naps and sleeping on average 5 hours a night. We were having a ton of fun. We got into the Okotoks at about 9 pm and Libby went right to sleep. We didn’t make it much later than 10 and slept really well. I am glad we were able to see Marcie and Mitch Libby loved the little girls at there house.


  
 

 

 

  
 
 


Things we learned :  Marshall And Brittany cant ride rides because we get so sick!!! so Disney land will be interesting.  Libby loves trains,planes and automobiles.  Sharing ice creams is not so fun especially if you got even get to try one.

  1. You poor guys with your little non-napper! My kids don't ever seem to sleep in the car during trips so I do feel a small portion of your pain. Love all the vay-cay pics! You guys were so so busy!
