Movin' up in the World

A few weekends ago we had to go to the provincial capital, where we lived the first few years we were here.  And we were amazed by the new development going on.  Mainly, the new mall.  This could probably seem silly to some people, but for us, it was quite exciting.

The first big attraction was the new ice skating rink.  My kids had never ice skated, and so it was quite fun for them to get a chance to try it, and they both loved it, wanting to do it again sometime, especially Hudson.

There are some Western clothing stores, like H&M and UniQlo that have also arrived in the mall which make Hannah and I very happy!!

But the best is the arrival of Dairy Queen and Starbucks! It really feels like we have "stepped up" in the world as we enjoy all the conveniences of the new mall!
