On Monday, Daddy took the day off and we went to Calaway Park (again). Cara was very excited even though the weather forecast was not good. We got there when the park opened at 10 and since it was supposed to start raining by noon the park was very empty. We didn't have to wait in any lines! First up, Cara had to go on the Egg Ride!
Gwen went on too!
Then Cara went on her first ride all by herself! It was a kid only ride so no parents and there were no other kids! She loved it!
Gwen's first ride on a horse on the carousel!
Then Cara went on her second ride without a parent - the Trucks! Just after this we thought "those clouds are getting close" so we made it under a tent just in time for a major downpour and storm! We had to hang out until the rain let up a bit so we could get to a building then waited to run to the car...only Mummy and Daddy got soaked though!
Cara and her latest batch of homemade play-dough!
Tuesday brought Nana back from NB and with her came Pepper! Cara was very excited to meet Nana & Howie's new puppy!
Our happy Gwen - she loves the camera and always smiles!
Cara and Gwen having some sister reading time.
Gwen is finally helping out around here!
On Saturday we went to the GD Canada Family Picnic. This year it was at the zoo! Cara was so excited to see the animals.
She loves watching.
And she couldn't wait to see the kangaroo...and jump in the pouch with Gwen!
Sister time with the bear on a bench (another of Cara's must-see zoo attractions).
The company picnic was a BBQ in a tent on a nice lawn that Gwen enjoyed crawling on and eating.
Gwen under the picnic table!
They had a zoo guy there talking about some animals and Cara got to touch a lion's claw (in picture), pet leopard and zebra hides, lion and hyena skulls and a giraffe foot! She loves lions so she thought it was pretty neat!

A visit to Calaway Park AND the Calgary Zoo! Wow! Both girls obviously had a great time! The photos are terrific! I'm glad Pepper arrived okay, but she seems camera shy! She will enjoy her new home in Calgary. I'm glad to see Gwen is learning how to pitch in around the kitchen! -- Grampy
ReplyDeleteI like the title this week. Either it was a "GD" picnic or the company acronym is GD ;) Glad you had fun. The amusement park looked like super fun. Hugs to you all!
