Day 19 to Day 21- Busted Out!

Day 19 - We had a pretty typical day. Owen did all of his therapies including his most favorite....swimming. We prepared for dad and Brayden to come bust us outta here for the weekend. When they got here we went and checked into the Ramada on Kingsway. It was fully booked but it was good to see mom would have a real BED for the night.

Mom scored free Special Passes to Galaxyland at West Edmonton Mall so we went to the Sawmill for supper then to play some games. Dad and Brayden went on a few rides and some guy even vomited right in front of them after the roller coaster....ewwwww! Owen played several games and ended up getting a miniature model toy dirt bike. Everyone had a blast!

Mom and Dad got to enjoy the hotel lounge while Brayden and Owen watched movies. Everyone was very content. We also managed to wish Auntie Erica a happy Birthday that day even if it was just a text!

Day 20- Mom decided to give the family the experience of Cora's for breakfast. It was a hit and Owen decided he actually likes over hard eggs. He would not touch eggs before. Everyone had a fantastic breakfast then off to the Telus World of Science. We spent all afternoon there playing with all the different exhibits. We even took in the IMAX show Rocky Mountain Express ( Brayden thanked us for the social lesson lmao!)

After that we went to Earls thanks to my great sista Erica for a nice family supper. Sooooo good. Owen had steak 2 nights in a row. We had to run as fast as we could into the restaurant though because a freak windstorm was pelting us with sand!

After that we went and got snacks and drinks decided an evening relaxing in the hotel was in order. We ordered a movie (7 psychopaths) it was a good movie! And did nothing! It was great! We even managed to message Mom's parents a happy 39th anniversary and again even if it was just a text.

Unfortunately the hotel was having issues with their pipes and when some of the guests had showers it sounded like jackhammers were being used in our bathroom at 6 am. That didn't help in the rest department but we were all together so we didn't care.

Day 21- The end of the weekend :( .. However we made this day last as long as humanly possible. We had lunch at the Kingsway food court then mom got her hair done while the boys went to some bike shops. When we met up again we decided to travel to St. Albert because Owen wanted to shop for Traxxas stuff at Future Shop. Brayden and dad kept leaving funny face pics on all the phones and tablets on display!

We then decided to thwart Owens steak eating habit and went to Swiss Chalet where he loves the chicken and dipping sauce. Brayden entertained us all with his wit and kept making us laugh.

Dad took the scenic way back to the hospital and helped us unpack and then had to head off home. Long faces when dad and Brayden drove away..Owen spent the rest of the evening playing wii with his roommate. Awesome weekend!
