Family Day Fun

This past Monday was family day. Because the biting wind had died down, we decided some outdoor fun was in order.
A community just north of us a dozen blocks or so had a great (free!) event going on, so we went.
The first stop was the petting zoo.
Elijah loved the pig. He kept going back to it and petting it. Toviel liked all the rabbits. They weren't as content to stay put when they were getting pet.


These hens standing on a donkey cracked me up! They stay on the donkey's back because the ground was too cold for their feet.

Free hot chocolate! Free cookies and brownie bites! Free hot dogs! It was amazing that everything was free.

Free sleigh ride!

On the sleigh. 

After we finished here we went to a church carnival not too far away. It was all inside the church: inflatable jumpy castles, another petting zoo, carnival games, a big slide, glow-in-the-dark maze, shooting gallery, concession areas, puppet shows with a magician vantriliquist, karaoke...lots of things. We could not stay for long. The event was so well attended that we all felt squished and overwhelmed by the crowds and noise.
Edmonton takes family day seriously! We also passed a city park that had more free food!
