Slide the City

Slide the City came to Calgary yesterday.  We had bought tickets for the boys back in February and they were very excited.  You could either buy a single ride, three rides or an all day pass - we got the boys 3 rides each.  We were instructed to go and pick up their tickets and tubes Friday night at Sunridge Mall.  I had no idea we would need to wait in a line up for an hour to get them.  For the number of people in line it actually went pretty quick.

So Saturday morning we got up and headed downtown.  They had picked a street near Kensington.

When we arrived they weren't quite ready to go yet, the truck transporting the slide was late.  Cadence and I found a shady spot to sit and Jason headed up the hill with the boys to get them in line.

Hundreds of people in line.

Since they started a bit late the boys waited about an hour in line for their first ride.  The next two were only about a half hour from finishing one run to finishing the next.  Pretty good considering the turn out.

The boys had a great time, I'm so glad we did it.  Cadence was a really good girl waiting for her brothers.

If they come back next year I'm sure we'll do it again - I'm sure their dad will join them next time too. Great summer fun!!
