We almost talked ourselves out of going to the gym again but not quite.
Jen is seeing a trainer so she had a workout that she's been doing and we did that.
As soon as we did the first set of squats I could feel it in my legs so I know I'm going to be hurting tomorrow.
After our workout, we got ready to head over to my sister's work.
They were having family day and she had signed us up to go for a helicopter ride.
Heading to the Griffon.
There it is.
I had my very important equipment - ear plugs and a vomi bag just in case.
Spoiler Alert - I didn't need it.
Jen and Declan were sitting in the back with a couple other people
I was sitting up front with just the flight guys.
I had a great view out the front window.
Lift off.
We flew over towards the downtown area of Edmonton.
You can see all the tall buildings off in the distance.
All the homes - I'm not sure which part of Edmonton this was.
This was as close as we got to downtown
You can see the river there.
Pretty cool.
Jen enjoying the ride.
It was only about a 15 minute ride but it was fun.
They did a landing out in the field then they did some tactical maneuvers just to make it interesting.
There was some equipment out that you could go and take a closer look at.
A robotic device - I should have asked what it was for but didn't think of it.
Looks like a vehicle for the dessert.
Quite a step up to get in there.
Jen and Declan went in and checked it out.
Tried another one - don't think that would be a very comfortable ride if you had to go for a long distance.
Jen and Declan.
He wasn't into the whole thing at the get go - it took a lot of coaxing but I think he was enjoying himself by the end.
Checking out some of the weapons.
I tried out the rocket launcher.
It wasn't as heavy as I was expecting but he showed me how to cock it and there is no way I would ever be able to do that by myself, he had to do it for me.
Learning about some of the other guns they have.
Jen knows how to handle a gun.
My sister has done so well in her career - I'm very proud of her.
Declan. and Jen.
It was nice to go to Jen's work and see the people she works with.
It felt nostalgic to me - growing up with a dad that was in the military we went to many family days over the years and they are good memories for me.
We left there and headed to Ikea which I've been trying to get to for weeks now.
I got some curtains for my bedroom - went with a dark green color.
Then a quick stop at Homesense - one more try to find those curtains.
I didn't find them but I did find some new pillows for my bed.
I've gotten to the age where I'm super fussy about my pillows and having the wrong pillow makes for a terrible night's sleep.
Then I headed back home.
I got back to Swan Hills around 9 pm.
I had a bit of time to visit with Jason before heading to bed.
I'm testing out my new pillow tonight.
That's all for today, until next time, be happy!
