So we left my grandmas house and headed to Fort Edmonton Park which is in the heart of Edmonton. I figured we would do all the stuff that visitors should do. Fort Edmonton park has different areas from different Eras We started by heading to the 1920’s midway (the carnival type rides) Libby rode the carousel and loved it. I am glad Marshall took the turn with her I got sick trying to get pictures.
We then took the train to the “fort” area of the park. And she walked around and saw all the different buildings in the fort (it was pretty boring).
So we headed to the 1885 street. We didn’t get very far and she saw the little pony ride. And she wanted to ride. So we got her tickets and she rode the pony. She looked so big. The last time we tried to ride them she got freaked out and this time she had a blast. We then took a ride in the stage coach (I got motion sickness) but she had a lot of fun riding.
We headed to the 1905 street where we had an old fashion picture taken. It was a joke to try and get her into the shop. But once there she was super excited to put on a Princess dress for the pictures but boy we had a good taking it off.
We didn’t carry cash around (I know so not like me) but none of the shops took visa it was either cash or MasterCard. And the one place that took visa (the photo shop) had a broken machine so I wasted a ton of time trying to find money to pay for the stupid picture. But we finally figured it out.
We tried to buy an ice-cream and drink but the only took cash so we had a not so happy child because we told her we were going to get a treat and had to walk out of 3 different shops because we had no cash.
We took the street car from the 1905 street to the 1920 street and then headed out of the park because it was closing. By the end of the day we had worn out our toddler and done more walking than I am used to and was ready to find a nice couch and just relax.
