Boys Day!

As promised....Boys Day post!

Last week my friend Barb and I left our girls at home, and took the boys for a little day trip to Edmonton!  I never get the chance to just hang out with Big Mack for a whole day, not since our tiny blonde tornado arrived two years ago :)

And it was a great day.  Get ready for another picture-pa-looza!

Everybody strapped in...they were both so pumped to be sitting beside each other...and not their sisters!

 First stop: Alberta Museum...I remember going there when I was little, and it is great for kids!  There is nothing that they can wreck, and lots of room to explore...and it was pretty quiet, us and two or three other families!  Shhh, don't spread that around though

 Rocks and Gems

The treasure room!

 Dino room

 Wow!  That's huge!

 The bug exhibit!

Those are real, LIVE, cockroaches-ew, double ew!

 Butterflies

 Hole-e Rock

 BFF's ~ Aidan & Mack

 First Nations section

The scene was that demise of a buffalo, Aidan was very concerned :(

Look at those two "animals" going into the Wild Alberta area

 Beavers

 Wolves

 Finding animals with the flashlight...this is their version of "sharing"

 I thought this was gross...dead animal, things eating it - ew...

 Mack thought it was awesome.

 Pretty cool

 Having lunch at the park--cool dude Aidan

 Ugh...laying in the sand!

 Latin Festival!

This was a gold mine!  We went downtown to go for a little swim in the fountain and stumbled across the Latin Festival (Mack liked the music) and they boys both LOVED the fountain AND the big SLIDE (unlimited sliding for $7!)

I am totally loving this double slide--possibility for the second annual M&M Summer Party?  Maybe....

 Swimming in the fountain downtown!

iphone photo's of the museum!

I think we are going to make this an annual memory maker!
