Our day started at Adventure World. It's a local amusement park that has a handful of rides, a little kids area, a few waterslides, a waterpark and a pool. For those in Calgary, it's exactly like Calaway Park except there are better rides, waterslides, a waterpark and a pool.
The first couple of hours were spent testing our resolve to keep our breakfast down on some ridiculous medieval torture devices rides.
We took a break to have a lovely picnic lunch. All meals were kept in place, although, some unknown feathered assailants broke into our brand new picnic cooler and sampled our teriyaki wings.
The next 4 hours or so were spent playing in the pool, on the slides or in the water park. After 4 or 5 days of 40 degrees it was really nice to play in the water without having to worry about rip-tides, jellyfish, sharks or sand in every body crease.
We then headed home and had Keva's favorite meal, spaghetti. It is one of two meals she likes, the other being Taco's. For her sake I hope she marries an Italian or Mexican...about 30 years from now.
This was followed by cake, that Zaren and Cyrus made, and presents. Thanks to everyone that sent presents and birthday wishes. Keva was very happy to hear from everyone and see the cards. In general, she had a very nice birthday day and we all had fun. It's a little odd thinking that she and the boys will be growing up in Australia. These really are formative years for the kids. By moving here I hope we haven't screwed up our children beyond the acceptable, expected level of parental failure.
Meh, whatever.
Up next (dun, dun, dun)...school!
