Fort Edmonton Park!! We haven't been so good at getting out of the house by noon... leisurely mornings on vacation are pretty darned good. So we made our choice to go to Fort Edmonton Park.
Train was about 20 minutes to wait at the gate and a helpful young lady at the gate told us that the 4D movie was starting in about 15 minutes and was about a 3 minute walk. So, walk we did! I have to say, the 4D movie was stellar!! Connor loved it. It could have had more content but all in all, very well done.
Then we checked out the streets en route to the Fort... talking to the interactive guides as we came to them. Connor chased chickens in a pursuit of petting the lovely Rhode Island Reds they had meandering around. We stopped in at the hotel for snacks / baked goods and a bevy at the half way point. Tried Pumpkin Pie Fudge, Connor and I enjoyed it, Tim did not.
We saw Turkeys hanging out under a wagon, pigs in their pen... period costumes and lots of neat old stuff. Bought some colour changing nuggets for our gas fireplace for this winter at the "hardware store". Made it to the Fort, did our thing there then went to catch the train.
We caught the train back to the main gate, but then walked over to the fair grounds in search of the good old fashioned candy and toys... after they had been found, we were invited to see a puppet show. It was "little Red Cap" and the interpreter/actors/puppeteers were really funny and good.
After that, we had exhausted our Fort Edmonton visit and decided to go get some deliciousness at the Italian Centre Shop. Many shopping bags later, we were ready to head home to the puppies to have Italian Sandwiches for supper and another nice, quiet evening at home.
