One of the things we've had to get used to quickly here is the copius amount of kilometers you can put on a vehicle if you want to do and see {big and wonderful} things. The driving is easy since it's usually on straight, empty highways so the time spent driving is not really that bad. Even the boys don't complain, but rather jump in and enjoy the ride.
The week Andy's mom was here was our special little holiday week since the birds were shipped, the barns were clean and there was a bit of time to relax before filling with chicks again.
We made the best of it and decided to make the drive to Books yet to see the Dinosaur Park. Seth and Tristan love Paleontology, Rowan loves going out, Beppe loves hiking, Andy loves exploring and I love packing lunches... so all in all it made for a happy group.
The weather was not so promising when we left in the morning but it turned out to be perfect. Not to cold, not too hot, and just windy enough to remind us that we were in Southern Alberta. ;)

There was a little museum by the entrance to the Park which was interesting and fun. It had bones set up as well as a little camp mimicking the early paleontologists camps. 600-700 dinosaur skeletons have been recovered from this part of Alberta! It also dove into the early settlers of the area as well as the Blackfoot Indians who originally lived there. All of it right up the little boys alley. I had purchased them cowboy hats (I know I know, I still can't believe I did that, but it's allowed now right? We've lived here for 7 months??!! - oh and they were super cheap... directly from China...)
