Edmonton - Part 1

In February, the kids and I had a week off. We headed up to the Great White North to have some fun! Our first big activity was ice fishing on Family Day. My Dad took us to Wabamun Lake and we spent most of the day waiting and hoping. And hoping and waiting some more. But then it happened: I caught a fish!

No fish sticks for supper that night though. Catch and Release Lake means new lease on life for the fish, YOLO little buddy!

We also went to the Silver Skate Festival  and it was very cool! Lots of incredible snow sculptures, but the best part was the ice slides! We went down them over and over.

Most of the week my mom and I just hung out with the kiddos, occasionally coercing them to do things they just really don't want to do....

That's the end of the pictures I took, but not the end of the fun we had. I got to see so many friends and cousins (and their adorable children) during our visit. We watched movies, did some shopping, played games, ate yummy food, etc. It was a great week!
