Drumheller!



















































Hi Everyone,
Well I remembered that I had told you all that we were all going on an exciting adventure! Well it has happened! We went to Drumheller, and from the photos, I assume you can all see that it is the DINOSAUR capital of the world!!!! O.K so maybe not quite the capital but it is known for finding Dinosaur bones and fossils in the area and it has the most AMAZING Dinosaur museum ever!

We spent two nights here and had the most AMAZING time.

Firstly, we got to see the biggest Dinosaur structure in the world. This structure is HUGE and we even got to climb to the top so we were inside it's mouth.

We went to the museum where we got to see lots and lots of bones and fossils. We even got to see the paleontologists at work - I wonder Lumsden if you can remember what that is? Let me know who remembers.
We even found a little church. No everyone, we did not get hitched here either!!!!

The next day we went across a historic swinging bridge, saw the Hoo Doo's and Sanford, Shane and I had our first ever Helicopter ride over the Horseshoe Canyon - all AWESOME!

We stayed in a WONDERFUL and very BEAUTIFUL BnB where we had a lovely garden to sit in for a few quite coolers and Molsen Canadians. For breakfast each morning we had pancakes - yummy!
As Drumheller is known for the mueseum and finding Dinosaur bones around the area, the whole town has dinosaur statues EVERYWHERE. We managed to get a few pics with some of them!

Well as you know, our stay in Canada is coming to an end!!! Shane and I are very sad to be leaving, it feels like we have become one of the family and we are both going to miss Lorna, Sanford, Tegan and Leah very very much.

I will try to add a last blog from here before we leave!

Thanks once again to our supportive friends and family who have added comments and kept us up to date with whats happening in little old NZ, we have really appreciated it.

Aunty Amy and Uncle Sam, WOW, how wonderful to hear from you guys. It is nice to know our holiday is circling far and wide in both our families. Keep reading and adding posts, we love hearing from you.

Lovely to hear from you too Val - thought you were being a snob but GREAT to know you are actually logging in and now (finally) adding your bit - keep it up!
Marzie am really excited wee Kiara is doing well, can't wait to see her when we get back. Shane and I plan to come back for a weekend very soon after we get back so I will keep you posted. Thanks for adding your bit - you know I love hearing from you and I do appreciate all your 'Friendly' advice you give me - Damn, you know me too well! Will talk soon!

O.k everyone, as I mentioned, will hopefully add one more blog before we leave Edmonton so keep an eye out for it.

Thanks for the posts, we check everyday to see who has been reading and adding!
Until the next blog,

Lots of love,
Rak and Shane. xxxx
