E-town Weekend

Last weekend we headed up to good old edmonton.  Mike spent the weekend working like a mad man and I spent the weekend playing!  The following photos are at Galaxy land where Carter was in HEAVEN.  If we lived there I would definitely take regular advantage of the "free under 2" admittance!  Along with playing at West Ed we were able to spend an afternoon swimming with all the Balderson aunts, meet up with friends for breakfast at Cora's, do dinner on Whyte Ave with cousins and friends (we received a few funny looks walking down Whyte with our baby at 9pm on a Saturday night - ha!), and spend a bunch of time playing at Aunt Laurens where we stayed.

While Carter and I were busy playing, Mike was busy doing this:


And a few before pictures just for fun:


This is the condo Mike and I bought a couple months after we were married.  It was such a fun time in our newly married lives and I have such fond memories of our time in Edmonton together and living here.  We've rented the place out for the last nearly 4 years with no glitches or headaches UNTIL the pipes froze above our unit causing a major flood just before Christmas.  As much as I feel for our tenants who had all there stuff ruined and have been displaced for months, I'm glad it gave us the opportunity to switch up the flooring - which I never liked!  Insurance gave us the dollar amount of the previous flooring and by Michael doing the work himself we were able to upgrade for no extra cost.  Doesn't look to shabby if I do say so myself!!  I would even want to move back in myself if it weren't for the fact that us and all our stuff would never fit now!

  Taking a break and Mike loading our baby up with sugar!

  1. The flooring looks amazing! I would say it almost makes me want to move back there, but I don't know if I will ever miss that place with all the water issues! But it took me back looking at your photos. I miss Edmonton.
