On the Frozen Ponds

The Fall winners of the Grand Prize at With This Ring Bridal Gala wanted some skating. Bower Ponds is where they were when they decided that they were definitely dating. Now, they are definitely engaged.
...and cute.

I have a 12 year old...for real

Earlier this month, our eldest daughter had her 12th birthday. That's a prety big deal, so we drove up to Edmonton for a day at Galaxyland, an Imax, and dinner. The funny thing about the 12 year old is that she gets motion sick, but LOVES rides. When we went to Disneyland/Universal Studios/Knottsberry Farm - she was on EVERY rollercoaster there, and every other freaky ride there is. It's spinning that does her in. Lucky we went on the Mindbender before the spinny ride. She got off and just made it to the loo in time to bring up breakfast. yum. That ended her ride-love for the day, so she went shopping with the Mister while I watched the smallest ones rampage the remaining rides. We met them at the Imax for Night at the Museum. I could watch Owen Wilson all day..cowboy or not.
My kids dig that fire breathing dragon in the lobby.
