summer
World Waterpark at West Edmonton Mall (Alberta)
It’s summer time! It’s nice to not have to deal with school and homework and lunches. With time off though, we definitely need to keep the kids busy. We decided that this year, we would try and discover more of what was around us.
We headed to the World Waterpark at West Edmonton Mall a couple weeks ago. It’s been so long since we have been at the mall, it’s always amazing how much is actually in there. We spent all day Sunday at the pool. With all that it has to offer, it’s not hard to do.

cutting corn on the cob
It’s so nice to have fresh corn in the summer to add into salads and meals. Here’s a great way to cut the corn off the cob with ease and not a lot of mess – with a bundt pan!
slushy watermelon limeade
After a day out in the sun, we needed something to cool us down. This watermelon limeade is cool and refreshing and only two ingredients!
During the summer, we always have watermelon chilling in the fridge. I dumped that in the blender and made a beautiful ruby juice. It did need some tang and the concentrated limeade made the best addition. This was blended with enough ice to make the perfect slushy summer treat.
Slushy Watermelon Limeade
3 cups watermelon juice (blended watermelon)
1 cup ice
1 limeade concentrate – 295mL can
In a blender, combine the blended watermelon, ice and the frozen limeade concentrate. Blend. Enjoy!
