Another absolutely fabulous Sedrovic family vacation!!! The original plan was to go to the zoo on Friday, however it was pouring rain and the wind was crazy, so we figured we'd give the Telus Spark Centre a try. It was AWESOME! If you haven't gone yet, go. It's worth it.
We all had a blast in there - so much to look at! And we didn't even get to see it all. Here are some pics from there.
John was making a song with grandpa. You placed the birds on the screen to make notes and could adjust the tempo. It was pretty neat.
Making rain music with GG!
The boys LOVED playing with the building blocks. We stood here a while :)
Light music.
Dance energy!
Robbie sat here for ages!!! You place items in the tub and they blow out. You can ajust the wind and there were a whole bunch of objects to try.
Nola and Auntie Sarah, the designers.
Hanging out 'under the stars'!
After the science centre, we headed out to Crossiron Mills Mall for supper and the arcade. We ate a South Street Burger - my fav - and us girls took Sarah maternity clothes shopping! Yay!!! Baby!! I am still just so stupidly excited :) she got some cute stuff and she even tried on the fake belly. Haha! It looks so ridiculous! After that, we met up with the boys and walked to the arcade. Luckily for us big kids, the old folks took the little kids for ice cream and we got to play!!! Sarah and I went and played whatever we could. I whooped her at air hockey, but then she killed me at connect 4. We played ski ball, shot some hoops, raced snowmobiles, threw some footballs, and went for a ride in a old mine cart. Wanna know what those boys did?

The whole time were we there, AJ and Doug played Jurassic Park. As you can tell from their faces, they were so into it! Haha! Sarah and I would just walk by and laugh at them. I guess they came pretty close to beating the game. Silly boys :)
After the mall, back to the hotel and straight to bed. We were all so tired!!
Even John got to go on a couple rides!! He was so proud of himself!
Up and away!
John kept pointing and saying 'Whoa! Ah-pain!!'
Robbie, Uncle and GG.
Nola was hilarious!! She would pull off her hat, wave it in the air and shout 'Yeehaw!!'
Grandma and the kids.
'Hi Am-a! Hi No-ya! Hi Ruff!'
Doug and AJ on the roller coaster!
We spent the whole day there!! When we got back to the hotel, we order room service for the kids (and me) and then went to the pool. GG got the kids new towels and they looked so cute!
After the pool the kids went to bed and us grown ups ordered tons of room service!! It was delicious!
The next morning was the zoo. We didn't last there long - we were all so exhausted - but it was fun! We went and saw the penguin exhibit for the first time - it was so cool!!! I love penguins. Watching them dive in and out of the water and waddle around, you can't help but smile. Then we actually spent pretty much the whole time we were there in the Canadian Wildlife Exhibit. They kids did a treasure hunt with Grandma and Uncle through there and it was great to see the animals.
Uncle, Auntie and GG left before us, and we only stayed to go see the butterfly conservatory. Last year, a butterfly landed on Nola's arm, so she desperately wanted to go back. No butterfly's landed on her this year, but she still loved it.
Off to the gift shop and then back home.
My family is amazing. Truly, it is. I love how we work together and help each other out. We had SO much help with the kids. Doug and I even had a few moments to walk alone, holding hands :) I am so grateful for my family. We love and respect you all so much!
Can't wait for next year!!
