The kids and I are off to West Edmonton Mall this weekend.  My kids have seen so much of the world, but I find it funny that I have never taken them to Edmonton.  My daughter who is 13 years old, is a dedicated shopper, and is anxious to visit every single store in the mall.  My son however, who is 18, has little desire to shop, so he will no doubt hang out in the amusement park or the water park.  I know we will all eventually meet up.  With over 800 stores, I had better wear comfy shoes.  There are all sorts of activities that we can do while we are they also.  We can play ”glow in the dark mini-golf” or just regular mini golf if we desire.  We can even swim with the Sea Lions.  I have done the “Dolphin Swim” in the past, so I will most likely fore go this event, but we will definitely have a look at it.  Sea Lions have really big teeth, which makes this far less appealing to me. 

After we are done with Edmonton, we are going to do a loop back to our home in Calgary and visit a few more places.  We are going to spend a few days in beautiful Jasper Alberta.  My kids have never been here before either.  It amazes me that they have traveled all over North America, but have seen so little of Alberta.  Well, it is time I change this.  There is so much to see in this beautiful province, that I am sure we will enjoy our little “stomp” around Alberta.
