Last night it absolutely poured on us…again. The thunderstorm started around 11 at night and was still going strong at 8 in the morning when we woke up. Parts of the campground were flooded, including part of our site. Conveniently this is where we decided to place our tent. When we woke up this morning most of our tent was floating in 3 inch deep miniature Lake. Fortunately it’s proved to be quite waterproof and only a little bit of water seeped in. There’s nothing worse than packing up a soaking wet tent and ground sheet but obviously we had no choice so we packed it up and managed to make to it to Tim Hortons for breakfast sandwiches. We made it into Edmonton earlier than expected so we decided to go to West Edmonton Mall a day early and check out the water park. Because we went in the last 3 hours of the day we got a “discount” on our admission so it was “only” $50 for both of us to go on some waterslides. The pool was closed when we first got in so the lines for the slides were ridiculous, plus a bunch of the slides were closed. Shortly after the pool opened and the lines went down so Nicola went on all of them over and over again. Nicola and I both caught some pretty sick air on this one slide which explains our sore necks and broken backs. Nicola had never been to Hooters so we decided that would be a good idea for dinner. Then we went to my cousin Aron’s house to visit him and his wife Tana and their two girls Danica and Carissa.
