We woke this morning to three year old Danica running back and forth around the house, playing “quack” with her collection of stuffed animals. We spent the morning playing with the kids and visiting with Tana and Aron. After that we headed back to West Edmonton Mall to do some shopping. Though we didn’t buy day passes to Galaxy Land, West Edmonton’s amusement park, we did want to ride two of the coasters. $37 later Nicola and I had enough tickets to ride the only two extreme coasters in the park, one of the being the Mind Bender which was our favourite roller coaster we’ve ever taken. After I cut Nicola off from a shopping binge we left the mall heading towards my Granny’s house in Drayton Valley. We’ve been looking forward to a home cooked meal and some great dessert from Granny the entire trip, and she didn’t disappoint. Nicola now has the prized recipe for Granny’s Kaluha Torte which is absolutely to die for. After visiting with Granny we headed off to Pembina River campground, crossing our fingers for dry weather.
