Most people have heard of the Mall of America, but have you heard of West Edmonton Mall? Aside from the Edmonton Oilers, I'd say that the mall is one of the reasons why people have even heard of Edmonton. By square footage, it is the world's largest mall and boasts attractions such as an indoor waterpark, amusement park, ice rink, and sea lion shows. Of course there are also tons of stores for plenty of shopping- in fact, over 800! No trip to Edmonton is complete without visiting "West Ed!" For the past two years, my parents have loved taking Gracie to the amusement park to ride the kiddie rides. My dad insists on going on the carousel with Gracie- I guess you could say it's their special thing. 
After spending time on some kiddie rides, we walked around the mall for a little bit. There was a super novice (9-10 year olds) hockey tournament going on at the ice rink and we spent some time watching the game. We were impressed by how good they were. Can it be said that only in Canada would there be a hockey tournament in July?! Actually, some of the teams were from the U.S. as well as Canada.

Before heading out, we stopped by the Chinatown part of the mall and grabbed my 4th bubble tea. This time though, I barely got any because Gracie hogged it! She wouldn't even look up long enough for us to take a picture.
