I am always amazed by the sheer size of these animals.
L was in his glory. K, having spent the previous day trying to enjoy herself while everyone else was reading information plaques and listening to the guide go on about the “late cretaceous period,” was somewhat impatient with the whole process. Eventually she figured out that she could draw some attention to herself if she became the palaeontologist or tour guide, so she started pulling people around and explaining the exhibits. Both L and K got to take something home from the giftshop, though the decision proved to be a very difficult one for L.
After spending a few hours at the museum, we did the obligatory tourist thing and climbed the “world’s largest T-Rex” and took a family picture.
Aunt I knew about a suspension bridge over the Red Deer River a few miles east of Drumheller.
We enjoyed the view for a few minutes and then made our way to Handhills High Country Hideaway for the night. Here we are taking a look at the day’s photographs. After supper, the kids and I tried to catch a fish at the campground’s private fishing pond. The fish were jumping, but they didn’t want any part of our bait.
