Canada Adventures: Part One

Friday, June 26th, 2009
  • We were supposed to leave at 4:00 pm. Estimated time of departure … 7:00 pm. Off to a bad start due to work issues, problems at the board game store, and getting lost on the way to the dog boarding place.
  • Headed out to Great Falls for our first stop
  • We saw the world's largest Diet Coke can on the way up and had to stop for a photo op (see below)
  • Mom accidentally told us the wrong exit so we went 13 miles past our hotel at about 3:30 am. YUCK! Apparently texting in your sleep doesn't work so well for giving directions.

  • Up and ready to go at 9 am. A miracle around this household.
  • Headed up to the great white north and we were all SOOO excited!
  • Lunch at Swiss Chalet in Lethbridge … DELICIOUS!
  • Moseyed on up to Edmonton slowly but surely.
  • Had just enough time to take the kiddies swimming and they had a blast
  • Lexi’s life jacket gave her a bad rash and she pooped in her swim diaper and didn’t tell us. I discovered it when I pulled it down with my thumbs stuck inside. Yuck.
  • Late night donut run looking for a Tim Hortons turned into a disaster as Jeremy led us on a wild goose chase. Ended up with some mediocre pizza instead.
  • Got some rest in preparation for a big day of West Edmonton Malling on Sunday.
To be continued ...
