I'm Back!!!!!!!!!
Well I am back from my holidays and needless to say everything went good. When we were down in Calgary we went to the zoo and the Canada Olympic Park. Both places were really great. I had lots of fun. I also got to meet Wes's aunt and uncel.They were both really nice and very friendly. I thought that it was going to be much worse than it actually was. We spent four days down in there and visited a few different places and actually had a real vacation. Usually we just go down to my parents place and hang out around that general area, so it was nice to be able to get out and go somewhere and stay in a hotel, and go to touristy places and be in a town that I have never actually got to see before. I mean sure I went to the Calgary Zoo with my dad but we only had an hour to spend there and it is a pretty big zoo so we never got to see anything there and the animals we did see were sleeping, so this time was much better and Little Man had so much fun. He was just facinated with all the animals.
We got lost pretty much everyday we were down there. The streets down there are so confusing. There are only a few that actually go straight through the city and the ones that we wanted to be on on say the south side didnt go all the way through to the south side from the north side. So needless to say we needed a map to get anywhere in that place. lol. And then the map the hotel gave us to get to the zoo didnt even have all the roads on it. we ended up on 9th ave or something like that and Wes was like "ok where do we go now?" and I looked at the map they gave us and the stupid road wasn't on the map. So needless to say it took us a while to get to the zoo, but we still had lots of time to wander around and check it out.
When we got back to my parents place everything went surprisingly ok. The last thursday we were down there we went to West Edmonton Mall. All the attractions were free so we took Brandon to Galaxy Land. He had lots of fun. There is this place in there that is for younger kids only and he had fun on the slides and with all the balls. Wes and my brother in-law played mini-golf and they had an alright time, until my sister freaked out on her husband because she wanted to leave and they weren't done their game yet. But they stayed and finished. I'm just glad that Wes got to do something fun like that for himself.
Thanksgiving was ok as well. Dinner was great. I haven't been home for Thanksgiving in 3 years so it was nice to be there for that. After dinner we had a few drinks, and visited.
But that's all for now I have a lot to do now that I am home again. And I should really get it all started.When I have some more extra time I will post some pictures for you guys. By the way....Mander thanks for taking care of the dog and house when we were gone.
