May Long Weekend -May 20-25 May 21

We headed to Canmore to stay with Grandma and Grandpa 21 for the long weekend. Hubby C took an extra few days off work so we could make it an extra long weekend and take the kids to the Calgary zoo on a work day.


The last few times we had been to Canmore, we were plagued by sickness and lack of sleep for everyone, making us more sick and more tired. 
We had plans to go for Easter and then J was very sick. We wanted to help make this an extra special trip for him especially. He was very sad to miss out at Easter. 
We headed down Friday night after C was done work. This always seems like a good idea until we're on the road, planning on them sleeping the whole way and the kids won't go to sleep until it's actually dark outside. This trip that meant 10:30pm and Calgary! Just in time for them to get 90 minutes sleep before we arrive, wake them up, make beds and attempt to put them back to sleep quickly. I need to remember this! 
Our first morning was beautiful. The kids woke up at their usual 8am time despite the late night. The weather had been forecasted to be chilly and wet the whole weekend so it was a pleasant surprise to awake to sun. 
We headed to a park downtown we'd never been to before.


My camera batteries died, of course! Not before I got one picture of the playground. 
Such a great morning to be outside. 
It turned out to be quite a big park. Grandpa 21 and Daddy were on the phone to each other, looking for each other, only to realize they were both in the correct location but at either side of the park!
