Fort Edmonton

This past weekend we used our awesome city passes and took the kids to Fort Edmonton Park. I thought it would be busy on a Saturday, but it actually wasn't too bad!

The first stop was the train! Camilla and Hyrum were pretty excited. It pulled up just as we entered the gates so we quickly folded up the stroller and boarded. I will never get tired of old train rides.

Hyrum was pretty pumped about it, although you can't tell by the picture. He was pretty focused. His little arm rested on the window sill the entire ride except when he would lift it to point out stuff as we went. He was adorable.

Joseph had fun too! 

We rode the train until it's first stop at the Fort. We got off and took our time walking over to check things out. Hyrum and Camilla loved the ride and the rest of the day kept asking when we could ride the train again. I may just take them back a few more times just for the train ride.

I love it!

While we were at the Fort the kids loved popping in and out of the different rooms. Hyrum kept exclaiming, "Let's check this one out!". It was fun to just let them explore and run.

We also hung out at the table in the courtyard while the kids drew with sticks of charcoal.

There was just so much for the kids to find and explore. We hit up Capitol Theater for the 1:00PM showing. It was definitely an awesome experience and not what I was expecting. Camilla chatted our ears off the entire day. She was most excited for the carousel ride and kept asking when it was time to go to the midway. So we grabbed a cone and walked over to finish off our day. Hyrum's cone dripped as we walked. He has that blonde mop of hair that I can't help but ruffle whenever he walks beside me.  

We arrived just in time for a puppet show. They did Jack and the Bean Stalk. At the end the guy asked what the moral of the story was and Camilla shot up her hand to answer. When he picked her she said, "Um, don't talk to strangers?". Daddy was a good sport and took the littles on their ride. Camilla was so excited! When the ride first started she looked a little scared to be all by herself, but then started to enjoy it. That was our last stop for the day. The whole back seat fell asleep as we drove the city streets home with the windows down low, trying to soak up as much of this Summer air before it goes.
