but now im back! i didnt have enough time to make this blog earlier, but now i have! or....will. we went to airdrie, alberta to visit my mom's boyfriend's step-mom and real dad. and we visited for a week. it took around 7 hours to get there and 7 hours to get back. that was the worse part. but they are very nice and carla (the grandma) likes to spoil us with treats alot, which is also very nice. lol. anyways, we went to the calgary stampede, which is like a carnival that lasts 10 days, we only went there once, and it celebrates cowboys..... but anyways, we went on lots of rides that made me laugh like crazy! it was fun. on the rest of the days we went swimming, visited a park, and visited a bigger park that was also about cowboys. they got a bunch of really old buildings (like the ones that were made in 1910) and they rebuilt them to make them look brand new. there was also a train ride and some carnival rides, but they were also old. and there was a moyie boat ride. me and my mom are terrified of ferris wheels. but we went on it anyways, and we laughed the whole time because we were so scared! it went faster than one of those huge ferris wheels! and it worked with a bunch of ropes... so we thought it was gonna break. anyways, im done.
