Three of my grandkids had this week off from school so we decided to take them to West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta for two nights. This is the largest shopping mall in North America and has many unique amenities including a huge waterpark, ice rink, amusement park and marine life. We stayed at the Fantasyland Hotel which is attached to the mall. Believe me there is enough to do there for a full week but my feet were so tired after two days that I was ready to leave. It is virtually like a small city contained under one roof with hundreds of places to eat. With spring arriving, color was abundant - in fashion stores, shoes, home decor and everywhere we turned there was an explosion of color.
I talked my grand daughter into walking to the far side to visit a fine art store. I always need more art supplies....right? We walked in and saw this right before our eyes. I knew it was the photo I wanted for this week.

these stairs are so cool! sounds like you all had a fun (and tiring!) time :-)
Love the cooler staircase!! I think I need one!
That is one cool staircase.
Oh, how fun! I might be more willing to go up and down my stairs if they were this colorful!
That sounds like a fun (albeit tiring) outing. The stairs are such an interesting find!

Love your photo, how wonderful they are!
Those stairs are just gorgeous! Which store is it.. I'm usually in WEM a couple of times a year... and I thought I'd been in all the art supply stores!
Perfect! I knew I was gonna love this picture when I saw the thumbnail!
Nope, not in person! These are pretty wonderful and I would definitely run up them to see where they went. I bet you guys had a lot of fun, it sounds like quite the place.
How fun to spend time with your grand kids and those stairs! wowza those are cool!
I hope the grandkids at a good time at least and thank goodness that you got to do something you wanted to as well. If not, you wouldn't have spotted this amazing set of stairs! I love them. So neat!
Love the stairs. It sounds like you had a great time with your grandchildren.
I wish I had a side stairway that I could experiment on! I think my husband would kill me if I did that to our main one, but I would love it. Great color shot
Hi Katherine,
Whew I would have been tired and ready to go too, but it sounds like y'all had a wonderful time. I love the colorful stairs it would have put a pep in my step just using them.

Great decorating idea...it must have been unexpected and fun to come across! Great choice for this week.
A gorgeous photo!!! I wonder why we adults are often afraid to use color in their homes. This stair case just makes me want to explore what adventures might await at the top.
Wonderful shot, great for this assignment!
Love that staircase! Great subject for the week.
What an awesome stairway. I love it and your photo is beautiful.
Great photo Katherine. What a fun idea for stairs. Sounds like you had an exciting time making memories with the Grandkids.
I love the rainbow stairs, they make you feel like you are climbing the rainbow, no? :)

I love these stairs!!
OMG, I LOVE that!! It's been years since I've been to West Ed, but I always had fun. I bet there are a bunch of new stores in there now, from when I was there last (likely 2003-ish)
I would LOVE to do that to a set of my stairs!!
Well that was kismet! What a great find : ).
Excellent post! How appropriate!
Nope, I've never seen rainbow stairs before, but I think they are fabulous!! I'd love to have some in my 'art studio' someday!
