Happy Dominion Day!

This year we headed to the Legislature Building for a pancake breakfast! It was so delicious. Sam was so enthralled by all the people that he would stop walking and just stare them down. You can imagine how long it took us to get anywhere- there really were thousands of people for him to stare at. Max got a tattoo on his cheek and loved the pancakes and watermelon. There was no meat served as it was put on my a Muslim group, so it was perfect for our little vegetarian.

After our yummy breakfast we headed to Fort Edmonton Park. It's a huge family park that exhibits different periods of time in Edmonton's History. There is a Midway from the 1920's, a fur trading fort from the 1880's, and various other streets modeled from different eras. Max's favorite, though, is the full sized real steam engine that goes around the park. He loves riding in the caboose in the seats up above all the rest. We spent the rest of the afternoon petting small animals, riding the ferris wheel at the midway, eating bbq lunch, snacking on sweets from an old treat shop, looking at flowers and cars, and riding the train. By the time we out Sam in his carseat, he was out cold. I've never seen him so sleepy.

That evening we bbq'd our supper and headed out back for s'mores. Sam couldn't be bothered to wait for the whole s'more so he ate each part seperately. Max had so many I lost count.
