Happy birthday little buddy!

We celebrated Ethan’s sixth birthday last weekend with a special family trip. They didn’t know what we were doing, but we told them we would go in something public, go up something tall and see something big. The public part was a ride on the Calgary C-Train (you know you are small town folk when taking your kids on a public transit train is exciting), we went up the tall Calgary Tower (though not the tallest in Calgary anymore), and the big thing to see was a couple of IMAX movies.

Ethan has always liked trains, and all the kids enjoyed the multiple rides on the trains. We rode downtown Calgary to go to a McDonalds for lunch, then back on the train to get to the tower, then a train again to return to our car.

Up the tower.

The glass floor…

…which the kids really enjoyed.

We ended the day with two short IMAX movies, which we all enjoyed at the dome screen at the Telus Spark.
