Family Vacation: Third Stop, Edmonton!

3,588 km. That's how long it took to get from Montreal to Edmonton! That was a rough drive. But here I am, in the provincial capital of Alberta, where cowboys are. So far, Edmonton has been great! So far, we've been getting our exercise by going to the many parks here. We also went to the LARGEST mall in the world! The West Edmonton Mall is enormous. It's 48 city blocks, and it has the: World's largest indoor amusement park,
World's largest indoor triple loop rollercoaster, World's largest indoor lake, World's largest indoor wavepool, and the World's largest indoor permanent bungee tower. Isn't that just amazing? We also went to the Edmonton Valley Zoo, which is home to over 350 animals from different climates and habitats. After that, we went to the Muttart Conservatory, which has probably the most beautifulest flowers in the world and probably the most beautifulest iconic man-made glass pyramids in the world too. Edmonton may be cold and dreary in the winter, but it is a nice place to visit in the summer!
