This past weekend, we headed up to my parents house in Sherwood Park. We had a reunion with my grandparents, parents, siblings, and the grand kids. The weekend started off with a treasure hunt. My sister Lisa painted rocks gold and hid them. The kids collected them and then went to "Grandpa's Store" and traded their gold in for random fun little prizes.
Friday afternoon, we went to Kenilworth Spray Park for the afternoon. The kids played in the water, while the adults had a Bocce tournament.
Saturday we took a bus ride to Edmonton's Heritage Days. There were tents and displays from every single country, as well as singing, dancing, preformances, and ethnic food.

We also had the "Mendenhall Olympics", which included events such as: The 100m Balloon Dash, Mater Race, Wheelbarrow Race, Three Legged Race, Rocket Shooting, Golf Shootout, and Tug of War.
We all had so much fun together. Can't wait to do it again in two years!
