May Long Weekend

We have had such a nice holiday weekend! Here in Alberta they celebrate the whole weekend and Monday is Victoria Day, in honor of the Queen's birthday. The weather has been beautiful, and I think I can (hopefully) safely say that the warm weather has finally arrived and the snow is gone for a while! We took advantage of the nice weather and took off yesterday for Fort Edmonton's grand re-opening. I have already posted two posts on Fort Edmonton (here and here), so I'll just share a few pictures from our day.

There were many extra activities in honor of the re-opening of the park. Claire was all about the petting zoo. Right when she ran in she went straight for the pot bellied pig. She said every animals was, "sooo cute!" Charlie and I really liked the baby goats. They were only a week old and were so tiny and friendly.

We took a picnic lunch and enjoyed walking around and looking in the old buildings. We found some horses that were hungry for all the grass you wanted to feed them. Claire got a kick out of picking the grass for them.

Hopefully we will have many more weekends like this one...there is nothing like enjoying your family in the warm sunshine!
