We had a great weekend away, made a pile of memories & it was just good to be on holiday time, even though we did a lot of driving! The Body Worlds exhibit was incredible, everyone should see that in their lifetime. I won't even attempt to describe it, words wouldn't do justice. What were the most impressive to me, obviously, as a mother, were the exhibits on the beginning of human life: the embryos at each stage and the pregnant mother with the cut-away torso. When I was pregnant, there was so much mystery surrounding the whole "what's happening inside my body" and it was just so incredible to see that all.
We stayed in Edmonton Friday night, did the Body Worlds and some shopping on Saturday and then drove the 3 hours or so to my brother's place for night. Sunday morning we continued on another 2.5 hours to my parents in time for a big ham dinner. More family arrived and we just hung out the rest of the day. Then Monday we had a lazy holiday morning and headed back home, 8 hours total driving time! The boys were exceptionally glad to be out of the car & bed felt really good about then.
Tonight the men were working on the retaining wall again, actually got it finished so we're ready if the snow flies! I fed 18 people for supper, did a simple meal of Beef Stroganoff in vast quantities and it went over extremely well. I'll post the recipe tomorrow, so stick around...
I think that exhibit would have freaked me out being pregnant, but so interesting!
