I realize that Canada day was a couple weeks ago but I was sorting through some personal pics and came across these two. We took the boys down to the Legislature Grounds for Canada Day celebrations. Owen was being cheeky all day, dodging the camera, running away, and then finally just when I thought he was going to sit for a couple shots…

Today we went to the West Edmonton Mall waterpark. The boys were too scared to go in the “ocean” so it was just me all by my lonesome, that is why I am the only one who is wet. I wonder why they were scared, do you think it had anything to do with the way I looked? Maybe they were just embarassed to be seen out in public with their dad =)

They were both so excited to go and when we first got there and looked through the window they were bouncing with anticipation. The whole time we were in the change rooms they both kept yelling “we’re going to the waterpark…”, but once we got in the water and the horn sounded for the waves that was it. After a few splashes Owen wanted out of the “ocean” and Brandon had enough as well. We tried to get them to play in the splash park and Brandon did try a little but Owen wanted no part in it. Instead Owen preferred to alternate between the hot tub and the lounge chairs and Brandon was brave enough to tackle a few slides with me and stay in the shallow parts of the wave pool.

Not sure how soon they will want to go back but I had a pretty good time, even though we did not get to go on the tube rides which were not open… and when we asked them if they had fun they both said yes.

Owen and Brandon have just finished up swimming lessons. This is Owen’s third and Brandon’s first session and they love it.

Brandon loves the slide!
