Tonight, as I was putting Chloe to bed, she looked up at me with her big blue eyes and said, "I want to talk with you." And so began our conversation reminiscing the day's events. Today was an abenture day. Not a typo. That's the way we pronounce it in our house. I'm sure someday it will be pronounced adventures, but, today, it's abentures.
As we talked, Chloe's face lit up as she remembered the huge slide at Evraz Park. Our location today was Regina. And this was our first stop. Chloe, Rebekah and Glynn loved racing in potato sacks down the huge slide that is several story's tall. I took pictures. That's my job. Anyway, they must've made a dozen trips down the slide.
Rebekah and Chloe also got to ride the train. Evraz park has a little steam engine that only children under 12 can ride. This was an exciting moment for both of them. Rebekah and Chloe rode in a car together. If at any point it crossed Chloe's mind to try to bolt, it certainly didn't show on her face. Wind blowing through her blonde hair and a big smile on her face. Of course, Rebekah waved every time she went by us.
Our next stop was the Royal Saskatchewan Museum. We went last summer, but the girls are young enough that they didn't remember it, Chloe especially. There's a special dinosaur section that Chloe loved. They also have an automated life like dinosaur called Megamunch that Chloe didn't love. When you push the button it moves and roars. Chloe cowered. Then Glynn and Chloe left. Rebekah, however, found megamunch fascinating.
Both girls loved looking at the displays of fossils and rocks. They both collect rocks. I have no idea why, except that my Grandma Christopherson collected rocks too. She loved it; maybe it's in the genes. They also enjoyed finding the little animals hidden in the displays. At one point, Chloe knelt down next to the display, pressed her nose against the glass and said, "hello 'coon." Her short form for Racoon.
After the museum, we headed to Candy Cane park, which derives its name from the tree-like structures painted with red and white stripes. The play equipment was completely re-done from when we were there last year. Not only was it beautiful, but the girls had such a great time. Chloe loves to climb, so she loved tackling the rock climbing wall. Rebekah loves to swing. There were a number of toys that swung in different ways, including the good old tire swing.
We finished off the day with McDonald's and donuts from Tim Horton's. It was a great day.
