My friend Denise from back in NS was looking through some old photo albums and came across this picture of Kody so she sent it to me for a laugh.
What a little cutie he was.
The girls had a bit of a sleep in this morning and Jason went out for a run so we didn't get on the road as early as I would have liked.
It was 11:30 by the time we left town.
We were going to take the girls swimming at Millennium Place in Sherwood Park.
They have a really nice pool there.
We were hungry though so our first stop in Sherwood Park was at a restaurant.
I found this place online that had a high rating and good reviews, Spark Chef.
It had a 4.9.
Freya
Eden
As you can see, they are both more entertained by the phones than by us.
It's a good thing and a bad thing.
We don't want to rely on it too much as an entertainment source but sometimes it can be helpful.
They had this special drink and I can't remember what it was called but it had basil seeds in it and ice cream.
It sounded good so we thought we'd give it a try.
It had too strong of a rose flavor to it for me but Jason thought it was ok.
Jason ordered this dish called Devil's Pepper Chicken.
The description said it was Sri Lanka's famous devilled chicken with seared peppers, onions and mild spicy-sweet devil sauce for a fiery finish.
I tasted it and thought is was ok, Jason thought it was kind of one note and you couldn't eat a whole lot of it.
I got the Pad Thai which I did like but it had a spicy kick that built up and after a few bites, I couldn't handle the heat any more.
Freya had the chicken out of my pad thai then we also ordered her the lasagna.
she didn't eat very much of it.
I tried it and thought it was ok.
The food was just ok - I would never rate it as a 4.9.
It wasn't horrible but we will likely never go back.
After we ate, we hit up the pool.
It has waves and a lazy river and a hot tub.
It's a great place - only 31 dollars for all of us too which is a fraction of the cost of the Water Park at West Edmonton Mall.
We swam for a couple hours then called it a day.
I can never take any pictures because I don't want to take my phone in the pool area so I ordered myself a water proof pouch.
Next time we go swimming with the girls, I'll be able to take some pictures!
We went and checked into our room - we were staying at the Four Points - I love their beds and bedding.
There was a Chop across the street, we made a reservation for 7:30 and walked over with the girls for supper.
They brought the girls the little kids appetizer again and Eden ate up all of the cucumber and oranges on her.
Then she ate Freya's cucumbers too.
Miss Freya - she was really looking forward to having her steak.
Shennelle said their steak bites were good so I ordered those as an appetizer, they came with a spicy mustardy sauce and then a horseradish sauce.
Both were good.
I cut some of it up in really small pieces for Eden and she ate it all.
Jason had the Chop Salad with steak for his meal and I had the beet salad with a chicken breast.
The food was really good.
We ordered the cheesecake with raspberry coulis for Freya - she ate most of it.
I had a bite - I could have eaten more but was trying to stick to my points.
Then back to the hotel.
I still needed some steps and Jason needed to lift weights so he and Freya went to the gym so he could do that.
I stayed in the room with Eden and walked on the spot and around the room to get steps in thinking when Jason and Freya got back, I'd go down to the treadmill at the gym to finish up but managed to get all the steps in that I needed.
Then we just chilled in the room, Jason took the girls down and let them pick out snacks at the front desk.
We watched some tv then called it a night.
We had two double beds so the plan was for Jason and Eden to take one, Freya and I would have the other.
But both girls wanted to sleep with me so Jason got a bed to himself.
It was unusual because Eden normally is all about Papa but I'll take the snuggles when I can get them so I was ok with the arrangement.
Going strong - 24 days now of 12,000 steps or more.
That's all for today, until next time, be happy!
