VACATION - DAY 3




Monday morning we woke up and drove to Drumheller. I had only been there once that I remembered and Nathan had never been, add that to the fact that Trentan is obsessed with dinosaurs and you get an excited crew. As we drove into Drumheller and we started to see all the dinosaur statues everywhere our excitement was seaping out of every crack. First we just HAD to go see the GINORMOUS t-rex that you can climb up and look out of his mouth. So cool. Then we headed to the museum. It was fantastic!! We somehow split up with Nathan taking the younger two and me taking the older two at a slower pace so we could actually read all the information and inspect all the cool experiments. It was fun to hang out with just Josh and Merynn but it would have been fun to see Trentan's expressions too. We eventually met up with each other and did the last bit of the museum together. There were so many neat things to see and investigate. The kids really liked the scale that told you how much you weighed in animals. Example: Rynni weighs the same as a beaver. Nathan weighs as much as a deer. All of us together weigh as much as a moose. Drumheller is really a neat place. I wish I would have researched it a little more cause besides the museum, there are still all kinds of things to do there. We could have easily spend another day there. I guess we will just have to go back one day.
After we were done at the museum, we drove to Lethbridge where we stayed in the Ramada hotel which had a wave pool and two waterslides.
The perfect way to end the day.

(I will eventually post pictures. Nathan downloaded them onto his laptop and he has it with him on the road. So they will have to wait)
