Edmonton

We were able to go to Edmonton on the long weekend to visit family. It was so much fun!

Thursday:
We got there around 8:00 pm (Alberta time). Amanda got to Sarah's house at the same time as us. We didn't do much that night, got set up for sleeping and just hung out.

Friday:
Darren wanted us to try the breakfast restaurant Cora's, so we all got ready and when Caitlin came over we got into the cars and went there. It was SO good! The portions were huge so I only ate half of mine. After that we went back to Sarah's house and played mario cart on the Wii for a little bit, then got a few groceries and got dinner ready. Darren taught us how to play Killer Bunnies and that was a lot of fun too. Rad got off work and we had dinner, which was amazing!! Rad and Darren went to chaperon a dance so we got to have a girls night. Watched a couple movies, had junk food, and painted nails. Sarah has a cool nail kit that was really fun to play with.

Saturday:
Bryden doesn't like to sleep when there is a lot going on so he hadn't taken very good naps while we had been there. So when he fell asleep after getting ready this morning we decided it would be best to just let him sleep before we went anywhere. When he woke up we went to West Edmonton Mall. It was super busy there!! I knew it would be busy, but I wasn't expecting that. I got a couple shirts for Bryden. I went into a perfume store and found a perfume I LOVE! Derryk wanted to me to look at watches, so we did that and I found two that I really liked. I can't decide which I like better. We saw a HUGE mastiff while we were at the mall, it was so nice! After the mall I had to get a couple things for Derryk, so we went to Cabela's and then picked up some rims for my car. While Sarah, Darren, and I did that Amanda, Caitlin, and Rad went and waited at Olive Garden for a table. We met up with them there and wait for a long time and finally got a table. I haven't had Olive Garden for such a long time, it was so good. After that we went home and I gave everyone hair cuts and we played killer bunnies then we talked for a while and went to bed. Oh, and Amanda and Sarah made red velvet cupcakes, SO GOOD!!

Sunday:
Sarah and Darren had church at 9:00 so we said bye to them, then Amanda and I had breakfast and I put Bryden down for a nap and then we got packed up and ready to leave. We put a movie on and waited for Jacob to get there. When Jacob got there we packed up the truck and said bye to Amanda and we were on our way! We got home at 7:00 pm. Bryden was so excited to see Derryk. He missed him a lot while we were gone.

That was our fun little trip. I wish it could have been longer, but it was good to see a little bit of my family and for them to see Bryden.
