We are back!

So we had a BLAST! that is the best word to describe our weekend. Visiting baby Hunter, Jenn & Darryl was fun. He is growing so much!!!! I love this adorable cutie pie! We went to Capital EX (aka Klondike Days as it was once known as) and saw a tremendous butterfly exhibit that had thousands of butterflies, then we went to Walking with the Dinosaurs. This was by far the best performance that I have ever been to of its nature. I think they are a group from England that created this 21 million dollar project that recreated dinosaurs to the closest size possible (that can fit in stadiums anyways) and as realistic looking as possible. There is a guide that walks us through the different periods and we get to see the dinosaurs, plant life evolve, how Pangea started to break up to form the different continents. Very interactive and amazing. I would go again! The boys were fascinated by this show. Then we did Fort Edmonton, a little bit of a packed zoo at first but we actually were there 6 hours in ei yi yi heat but had so much fun! Oh and I checked out the new & hip scrapbook store in Sherwood Park, Scrapbook Divas. It is really modern looking, funky, and in one word "trendy". They actually have only been open 3 weeks so I hope they have tremendous success. It was fun to go here. Plus next door is the most adorable baby store ever. Had fun in there too!

Melina, the butterfly exhibit is only up during their EX days, I don't know if it travels with the EX or if there is a place in Edmonton that they actually live. sorry! Yes Hunter is growing up so fast!

That sounds like a blast! My question is, why do they change the names of these fairs?? Do you remember when we had "Pioneer Days" and now it's the Ex, I think that has no character whatsoever. And to change "Klondike Days" is blasphemy!! What's next? The Stampede??
