Well, for Canada Day we had really good intentions of heading to the Zoo for an afternoon of picnicing and wandering about. We called up the Finlaysons and we all packed up and headed down. However, after seeing the over-a-block-long-line-up just to get into the Edmonton Zoo (which is truly not worth that kind of wait!) we did a quick consultation and decided that a simple picnic would do just as well. So we headed out to Blue Meadows, which is the (private) Edmonton Police Service recreational grounds that sits near city limits. There's lots of wide open spaces for running and playing, a small river to explore in, and a park for the kids. It's much more than that, but those were the highlights we were interested in. There were a few other campers out there, but overall the grounds were pretty vacant, so it was truly more our speed to have no crowds and the ability to sit down and let the girls run. Oh, and did I mention this also allowed us the perk of picking up a couple bottles of wine to add to our picnic? Good times!!
