Happy Family Day

In Alberta we get an extra holiday in February called "Family Day". This year we decided to enjoy our day being unplugged. (no computers, or any other electronics.) We got some tickets for the huge water park at West Edmonton Mall. It was great because we got them at a discounted rate. So normally it would have cost us $140.00 to go there for the day but with our coupon we went for $72.00. It is something that we have only done a couple of times since moving to Alberta but it was fun.
It ended up being a day full of deals. We enjoyed a picnic lunch to save on cost. We spent the whole day there but it was a little crazy with all the other people.
After our water park fun it was off to use some more coupons. We had some fancy drinks from Orange Julius using our coupons and wondered around the mall. Then it was time to head for dinner and thankfully we were able to feed our whole family for only $10.00. Our favorite place to go is Ikea because you can get a decent meal but because it was family day they had a special on their 10 piece meatball meal for only $0.99. It was great. We love those kinds of days when you can have so much fun with the kids and not go broke doing it. LOL

  1. We were at the WEM water park on family day too!!! We only lasted until 1pm before the little man was done. If you heard a hysterical crying boy when you were in the family change rooms......that was us;) lol.
