We had a chance to visit Fort Edmonton Park on Sunday, a place we have not frequented in the last ten years. Not much has changed but it was still neat to go through and check it out. Again, it was a case of seeing the tourist attractions of your own city because someone is visiting from out of town. We had an ex-Edmontonian visiting from Vancouver and she wanted to do the touristy thing. The girls took her to West Edmonmton Mall while I was at work, thank goodness.
I am about to go outside and take a few photos of the work in progress on the front yard so expect to see a couple of pictures in the next day or so. The job should be finished tomorrow so there should be a little show-and-tell with before and after pictures. I am hoping it's been worth the wait.
The kiddlings are all back to school today so there is a relieved calm over the land. We are now back up to three full time students here as Sandi starts at the U of A today.
Speaking of arachnophobia (sp?), anyone with the aformentioned affliction may want to steer clear of Nikki's room if you plan to visit as she has added to the menagerial population with the aquisition of a full fledged tarantula spider. It's so cool and if I wasn't having to be so parentally stern about her getting this thing without permission, I would be pretty excited too. I will get some pictures of it, probably sitting on my keyboard with some equally cute comment about computer bugs or something.
