My Family's Visit
The first thing me and my parents did when we got there was go to Edmonton mall. Everyone benefited, my mom got to shop, my dad got to... drive there, and I was ready to go down some water slides. None of us really like rides so after we looked at all the cool stuff at the mall we went into the water park. I went down every water slide the park provided. My parents and I went into the pool and it started getting really dark. We looked out the window and noticed a funnel cloud starting to form. The lifeguard got everyone out of the pool right away and we went straight to the hotel and hid under a desk. Luckily the hotel didn't get effected by the tornado, but the mall got a little damaged. The next day it was beautiful lout we all went to see some cool sights including: the Ukrainian Culture Heritage Village, and Banff park. My family and I went on the 8 minutes ride, and it was so fun. The park was one of the prettiest things I have ever seen.
