Little Family Getaway

We weren't doing a family vacation this year but we felt as though we wanted to do a little something fun together.  So we did a quick family getaway.  We went to Edmonton and did a few fun things and had some time to visit with Ashley.  It was a really fun filled, quick trip.  We tried to pack in all of the activities we could into our couple of days.  It was a great time.

This little boy sure loves Elliette.  She takes him and carries him and plays with him.  They are a really cute little pair.

We went on the old trolley up over the high level bridge.  They boys are in love with trains and trolleys, so they were thrilled.  

It was a really neat view up over the bridge!  

Another big thing that we did was a whole day at Galaxyland.  We were very excited about going on some rides. I love these cute boys sticking together waiting for their turn on the little dragon roller coaster.

Baylor is showing me how big he is.  There were a number of rides that he was too small to go on, so he thought if he showed his muscles he might show how big he is.  Too bad that can't make you taller!

This was a great roller coaster for Marshall.  It went fast enough but along a track that didn't go upside down or spin the cars around.  He really liked this one.  He went on another one, that he was just tall enough to go on.  It had 4 person cars that spun around, making you go backwards and spinning sometime while going around corners or downhill.  He was just screaming on that ride that he was going to die.  He came off of it crying and told me that he nearly died on it. It was sad that he was scared but a very dramatic reaction that was entertaining.  He recovered quickly and found other rides that he liked.

Some of Baylor's, Ellliette's and Dawsyn's favorite rides.

We did a tour of the Alberta Legislature building.  It was interesting but the boys had a really tough time and we didn't manage to finish the tour.  Sometimes it is best to just get out and play in the water anyways!

We had a great visit with Uncle Gordy and Aunt Brenda.  I love this picture with these guys visiting and the whole pile of watermelon that they appear to have completed themselves.  There were many soaking wet fronts of small children that helped them out with it all! It was a lovely little family getaway!
