Made a quick stop at the border to take the required photo of the Alberta sign. Grandpa discovered tad poles in the puddle in the parking lot.

Stopped in Medicine Hat for a car break. After a bite to eat we saw the world's tallest teepee. There 10 paintings created by local artists. Lily and Oli are standing under their favourite.

Calgary Zoo
July 13, 2022 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
We went to the zoo and everyone enjoyed themselves. Oliver's favourite was the Prehistoric Exhibit (dinosaurs). Lily and Grandpa enjoyed the Canadian Wilds. Lily liked the wolves and Grandpa liked the bears. My favourite was the penguins. I took very few pictures of the animals with the exception of the penguin who seemed to be posing. We also had the opportunity to have a group shot on the red Adirondack chair. As anyone who reads these posts the red Adirondack chairs are always required pictures🙂Read more
Traveler Great pic!

Went to the wave pool for some swimming fun. We couldn't take photos or videos of the waves but they did let Grandpa take pictures of the smiles.🙂

Two Jack Lake
July 14, 2022 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Lake Minnewanka was super busy so we went to Two Jack Lake. We had some lunch and then hung out in the beach area for a while. The water was cold and it took a long time but eventually the kids both went under the water. The kids have also learned how to turn the car into a change room🙂
Oli also discovered a new sandwich, baloney and raspberry. Yup you read that right. Apparently it tastes good, I wouldn't know.Read more

Johnston Canyon
July 14, 2022 in Canada ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
We had time for one small hike/walk. Grandpa suggested Johnston Canyon and what a good choice that was. We've been on the walk to the lower falls many times and it never disappoints. Lily and Oli enjoyed the walk through the cave. They enjoyed the mountains and were asking why we weren't staying there.Read more

Royal Tyrrell Museum
July 15, 2022 in Canada ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Last entry. We drove to Drumheller yesterday evening so we could get up early and go to the Tyrrell Museum. The first picture is the outside our motel room. The kids loved the museum. They were amazed at the fact that at one time Saskatchewan was both under water and at the equator. A good morning of discovering the history of dinosaurs.Read more
