Our Drumheller Trip!!

 We decided to go on a little family trip to Drumheller. We've never taken our kids to the Tyrrell Museum before. They were super excited to go! We took off on Good Friday morning. We stopped at Walmart and got a few things for the kids to do as we drove. I drove for half the time and then we switched. I told Richard a few months ago that I was sure the Durango was 10km off. Anyways, so he was going 120km, thinking it was 110. Well we got pulled over and received a speeding ticket. Oops! Totally my fault!

Well we made it to Drumheller by lunch time. After we ate something we headed straight to the Tyrrell Museum. It was an amazing afternoon. The kids were so excited to see everything. The fun thing about it was they had a Easter egg hunt too. We had to find all the eggs and write down where they were. It was a perfect way to spend our afternoon. We had a lot of fun.

Hello Cadence!! Ha ha!

Then we headed off to the hotel and checked in. The kids were super excited to go straight down and go swimming. So we got in and changed and went down to swim. There was a slide and the kids had a blast playing in the pool. I love swimming with my family. We had a lot of fun.

After swimming we went over to Boston Pizza for supper. It was the perfect place to go because they had a hockey game on the tv. That made DJ very happy. Since he didn't want to go in at first. We left him in the vehicle and then he ended up coming in. Then he was happy cause he could watch the game. Silly boy!

We got back to the hotel and the kids wanted to go swimming again. I just went down with my book and read as they swam. They were the only ones down there swimming for the first 1hr or maybe even more. They loved it They were a little crazy on the slide. It was funny to watch. Then people started coming in and it was getting busier and busier. So away we went.

Crazy, fun kids having a blast swimming.

In the morning, after breakfast, we checked out. We stopped at the visitors center where they have this HUGE dinosaur where we can climb up the stairs. It was very big and by the time we got to the top, it was swaying in the wind. We didn't stay up there for very long. But it was still cool to look out at. The kids had fun racing up and then racing back down. Silly kids!!

The HUGE dinosaur and if you look closely our 4 kids on the foot of the dinosaur.

There they are!!

Climbing up all those stairs to get to the top.

Brianna waiting for her slow parents!! Ha ha!!

Look we made it to the top!!

Yes, we were there too!

Then we went back to the Tyrrell Museum (since our tickets were good for 2 days) and went back to our favorite exhibits. It was fun to do it a bit slower and read a bit more. Then the kids really wanted to play on the cool outside playground. So we did that too.

Brianna and DJ being a bit crazy!

We got a lot of comments that weekend about our red headed twins. Like I mean a lot!! Ha ha! It was really funny. I know that we always confuse people with our 4 kids that are all about the same height. Makes me smile. I love my family!

Yes, they do look a lot alike!

My amazing red headed "twins"!!

It was a fun weekend. After we finished at the museum we had lunch and then headed for home. It was kind of a crazy ride home. It started snowing really hard just as we started to leave. It was big fluffy snowflakes, which ended up being a slushy mess on the roads. But we made it back home safely. It was a fun weekend away.
