Blackfalds Inclusive Playground Has this ever happened to you? As we approached Red Deer, driving north on Highway 2 in Central Alberta, we asked the girls if they needed to go to the bathroom.

Banff’s Best Playground The playground at Banff Elementary School is so fun that we’ve visited the past two summers in a row! We think it’s an easy choice as Banff’s Best Playground! Equipment is divided into two distinct areas, set on either side of the school. On the north side of the school, you’ll file
Robb’s Best Playground To call this Robb’s “Best Playground” is a little unfair, because I’m pretty sure it’s Robb’s ONLY playground – but it’s a great one, to be sure! Robb is a hamlet located about 50km southwest of Edson. We were taking a backcountry route home from Jasper when we stumbled upon it. And
Prairie Winds Park One of Calgary’s destination playgrounds, Prairie Winds Park is as fun as it is unique! The playscape features a double cable-track zipline. It may be the longest zipline we’ve found to date! We love cable-track ziplines as they are bouncy as well as fast. There are two slides built into the hill
Flyover Park – Beauty in a Lost Space It may be the most popular Calgary playground post I’ve ever made! The story behind Flyover Park is truly an incredible one.

10 Things I Learned as a Rookie Mom in Disneyland I’ve been lucky enough to visit Disney theme parks several times as an adult – but this was my first visit with kids AND my first in over 10 years. A lot has changed in that time! I’m by no means a Disney expert and

Our Magical Disney Moment It was an experience that I can only describe as our Magical Disney Moment! A trolley conductor approached us as we entered the gates of Disney’s California Adventure park. He asked us if it was our first visit. It wasn’t, but it had been more than ten years since my husband
Staying at the Legoland Castle Hotel We told the girls to not expect presents for their 8th birthdays because we had a surprise in store.

Why I think Legoland > Disneyland I have something to say. It’s kind of controversial, but I’m going to say it anyway.
