Calaway Park and Survivor Buff...

Well my Survivor buff came! Yeah! It's around my neck right now :-). I went to Calaway Park twice this weekend! Thank goodness for season passes! I went on Saturday night for a hour (in the rain) and Sunday morning for a few hours. Let me tell you even though it was raining and a hour before park close it was still a blast! The lines were so empty! I got to go on the new ride "Chaos" 2 times in a row. Me and Jamie.M went on the log ride 2 times in a row and the rollercoaster 2 times in a row in the front seat. The rain was crazy on the turn after the drop. It was pounding into your face. I don't think I would do that again. We got drenched on the log ride. The next day we went again and Dawn, Jodie and some of the other kids went on the ferris wheel and the kid who picked it got scared and they took him off the ride but me,Dawn,and another kid were stuck on it for a long time (not due to anything). We went on the bumper boats and I was in one boat and the rest were in another one. We got pretty wet. We also went on the rollercoaster and "Chaos" again. Dawn liked it so that was better then Jaime almost throwing up :-P. We wanted to go on the log ride but the line was crazy. I am disappointed we lost the Stanley Cup but then there is next season.GREAT JOB CALGARY FLAMES WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!! So I played NHL 2004 and got my revenge! We won against Tampa Bay (of all the teams that made it). The virtual one will have to do for now!

In Da Dome Part 2 plus Stamps V.S Bombers PLUS Harry Potter 3!

I went to watch Game 5 at the Dome after "certain incidents" occurred during and after the last time. Me and Ryan went and we sat in the 3rd row in the LOWER BOWL!! It was so darn cool! I was on the "Live" shot of the Pengrowth Saddledome on CBC. It was a heck of a lot easier than last time because they sold tickets this time which reduced some of the headache at the doors. We got there like maybe 5 mins after doors opened and it was a breeze. The lines were crazy for snacks though. I also went to the Stamps Pre-season game on Saturday. My little cousin and me were on the Jumbotron before the game. Amanda couldn't believe it though. We were eating popcorn and cheering. :-D. It was so cute. Afterwards I went and watched the hockey game at my house and then later on we went over to our neighbours house and man we had a good time (although we lost). On Sunday I went and saw Harry Potter and The Prisoner Of Azakban at Paramount Chinook. It was really crazy cause of the rain and everyone wanted to stay indoors and maybe check this movie out. Dad and me got tickets to the 1:45 show (I think) and the guy said there was 138 seats left. Well... they were mostly in the front row! It was awesome though! Great movie, the director change is noticable. My cousin Victoria saw the IMAX version. I wonder what that was like? Pepsi Taste Challenge was there too. Anyway It's all or nothing tonight so GO FLAMES GO!!! Oliwa forever!!! Oh, I am now in the offical "Delivery Period" for my Survivor Buff. So I hope it comes soon. One sad note... Zip is going to be absorbed into Air Canada. No more funky coloured planes at Calgary International. I wanted to see the Zip A319 though!!! Darn... Goodbye Zip...
