Day two of holidays - Tuesday - Off to Heritage Park - i have never ever been there. It was a lot of fun. There are about 6 amusement rides. The whip below wich deklen liked alot. The caterpillar below which got covered while going with a green cover. He did not like this one at all, he did not cry, just whined saying" done, out" The paddle boat - nice out on the glenmore resivoir.

Deklen on the boat eating a gingerbread cookie.
Being cranky before nap time. Hiding in a spruce tree.

Ice cream, what could be better when it was plus 28 degrees?

And a small movie of deklen on THE favourite ride. the merry go -round. Loved the horses we went on it 3 times.

And we had dads birthday this year in banff. We stayed in a condo for the saturday nite and had a great time. There were two hot pools and we soaked in those with the kids a few times, and everone went on the gondola, shopping and bought candy. I do not have many pictures as we were having too much fun.

Well, day one of holidays - Monday - ZOO day! And deklen had sooo much fun. He loved the hippos the most and they had just fed them in the morning, so they were out and eating. Deklen and ruby were feeding the birds bread (as were all the other kids) and the birds went behind the fence. The kids loved the gorillas.

Fish tanks were cool too!

Deklen liked the ducks.

Deklen has started swimming lessons. This was his first time in a pool since 10 months old.
First, we started out in this pool before the lesson, and deklen did not even want to walk into it, he actually ran away half crying. So i carried him in on me and i sat down with him on my lap as i was struggling for air as he was choking me. Seriously, he was hanging on so tight it was restricting my breathing. Then i told him it was like a bath and he started to relax.
And kim and alexis are in the background, she asked me to take lessons with her, and i am glad i am going, it was a lot of fun.


We would sing the frog song and they would push off into the water into our arms. Deklen was just getting the hang of it by the end.
Going around the lazy river, it has a current that carries you along it. Going throought the waterfall.

Picture is a bit dark, but it is cute. Deklen did have a lot of fun and the pool was warm.
