We left Crossfield and Paul's parents just after 10am and started the drive to Drumheller. The drive is only an hour, so it didn't take long and we arrived by a bit after 11am. Our first stop was at Gus' Corner Restaurant for a bit of fuel for the body. We all had a great meal.
Next stop, was at Reptile World. The kids enjoyed seeing all the snakes and reptiles. They were excited to hold Brittany the Boa Constrictor. Kerri attempted to hold her, but just before she took her she chickened out. She didn't chicken out really, she argued, she's as brave as Indiana Jones!
Kerri holding the snake she felt ok with.....
Once Kristine and family and Kay and Bob arrived, we met up at the Royal Tyrell Musuem. It was fun going through the museum again. The little kids all really enjoyed seeing the dinosaurs. The big kids did as well (and that includes the adults!)
After a nice dinner at DQ, we headed to the Homestead Museum. What a deal that is! $3 a head and there was so much to see! Everyone enjoyed seeing the neat antiques from kitchen gadgets, furniture, automobiles, farm equipment to even an Eaton's Catalogue House!
Once we'd finished there, we drove 10 minutes to the west to see Horse Thief Canyon. It was beautiful and everyone enjoyed seeing the beautiful canyon and trying to catch the gophers (prairie dogs, ground hogs, whatever you call them).
On the drive back we stopped at the Little Church. It is a small church that fits 6 people in the pews. It has provided services for thousands, 6 at a time over its lifetime.
Back at the hotel, we let the kids all swim for an hour and a half to tucker them out. We wanted to make sure they all had no problem sleeping.
