EDMONTON TRIP!!!










 As Mark is heading off on a week long canoe trip and has been crazy busy lately with life we decided to head into Edmonton for the day for some family time. We started off by hitting the Edmonton Valley Zoo. It was a cute little zoo with some great animals. We got to see otters,  seals, snakes, owls, zebras, snow leapords, wolfs, and many other beauties. Next we headed to Whyte ave to try and find a fun bistro to eat lunch at, everything was closed for the long weekend until we happened to find this one little gem. It was called Under the Big Wheel and it was the most amazing food I have ever had. It was all made with whole grains and organic vegetables. We started off with the most amazing cream of mushroom soup ever, that had a delicious homemade bisquit. Then Mark had this pulled pork pannini and I had this spin wheel Quesidilla. We both devoured our meals and savored every bite. As well in this little Bistro there was a place that made home made gellato. As well it was to die for and absolutely amazing. I got Chocolate coconut and Mark got chocolate coconut and pistachio. We will definitely be hitting this place up next time we are in Edmonton. We then of course had to do a little bit of shopping MEC for mark and H&M for me and Macie. Macie was a sweetheart all day and just full of smiles and giggles.  Great fun family day for sure.
