We had an amazing summer holidays. This year we went camping in Edmonton to Rainbow valley campground. I was actually dreading the 5 hour drive to Edmonton with three kids. Josh had to talk me into it and convince me that it would be just fine. And he was right all was just fine.
We've stayed at the Rainbow Valley campground two times before. It's in a valley, kinda like the river bottom in Lethbridge. The valley is very treed so it doesn't feel like your in the city. Plus your 10 minutes away from West Edmonton Mall.
Saturday- We left nice and early at 6 am, with a half way stop in Balzac for breakfast. Then finished the second half of the drive, arriving in Edmonton by 11:30am. The kids were amazin traveling a they really surprised me. It was so nice to arrive a a decent time and still have a good chunk of the day left.
Sunday-we hit the water park for 8 hours. Lincoln and Lacey loved everything about the water park and just wanted to keeping doing all day long. Lincoln didn't even want to stop to eat but I made him. Lacey was a big fan of the waves. One of the waved tipped her over. She comes up from being under that water and said " is that all the power you got". Lacey cracks us up. We loved all the water side. Oliver was even able to go on a few. We had some pretty tired kids when we arrived back at camp that night.
Monday- We explored the valley in which Rainbow valley campground is located and went on a hike. It was fun exploring.
In the afternoon we went to the under water cavern and the seal lion show.
Tuesday- We hit the outlets and did some shopping in the morning. In the afternoon we went on a drive to check out the city a bit more. On our drive we saw some fountains from the road and decided to stop. Turned into a whole afternoon of fun at the legislature building in down town Edmonton.
Wednesday- Nana and uncle Logan headed home, we went to galaxy land. Which Lacey and Lincoln were huge fans of. Ride after ride!
Thursday- Was the end of our camping summer holiday and we so weren't ready to go home yet. We left around 8am and a mid was stop in Balzac again. We actually had to make a detour to downtown Calgary to pick up uncle Logan as he had no way back to the Lethbridge as the plans that he had fell through. When we called up to our house Lacey said I don't wanted to be home. We all had to much fun. That evening we did a quick unpack/ repack so we would be ready to head to Cardston on Friday.
