Heritage Park, Calgary, Alberta

We went to Heritage Park and had a great time. We started with a free pancake breakfast.

We went on the train and watched the wagon go by.

Everyone but Melissa and I went on the Ferris wheel and really enjoyed it. Then later Melissa wanted to go on the Ferris wheel so she tried it and loved and decided it was her favourite thing and kept wanting to go on it again.

We enjoyed some of the other rides too.

We enjoyed the paddle wheel boat ride.

Steve really enjoyed playing pool with an RCMP at the pool hall. My husband’s father used to play pool in this pool hall before it was moved to Heritage Park.

There are lots of buildings from mansions to soddies.

My mother lived in a soddie like this when she was young.

Then after looking at some of the buildings the kids went on the rides some more. There was an arcade and Steve won a nice large stuffed iguana for Melissa and grandpa won a large stuffed dragon for Kiana.

Calgary Zoo

The weather was sunny again and after an exciting breakfast (Melissa and I had breakfast at McDonalds I love egg McMuffin) and the rest ate at A & W. Then we were off to zoo for a pleasant day of looking at the animals.

We walked through the section with the dinosaurs. Of course one of the favourite parts for the kids was the gift shop.

This elephant is little too big for my collection

We stopped at a dollar store and Kyle thought it was so wonderful all the things you could get for a dollar, he bought lots of things with his own money. Lisa and Steve bought a new lap top computer (good price and no PST). We had a great dinner at Red Lobster and Kyle and Kiana are so sophisticated that they had escargot.

Some fun and relaxation after the zoo

Calgary trip

My husband and I went to Calgary with my daughter-Lisa, son-in-law Steve, and their children Melissa and Kyle and my other granddaughter Kiana. We had quite a car full with the seven of us. It was nice and sunny when we left and the scenery was beautiful.

We stopped at Golden for a fast lunch and Field to walk around a little. The grandkids were excited when we got to the hotel especially the indoor pool.
