Travel from a 14 year old's perspective.
Riding a Bull and Visiting a Dino
June 2, Tuesday 2009 DAY 4
Despite the fact that we woke up nice and early, it took us a while to get going. My mom, wanted to just stay and visit family, but when Dad told us that we were going to go on a mechanical bull, that finally got us, and our cousins that we were visiting, to get a move on.
It was actually pretty fun! Jaeden, (age 13, one year younger than me) was pretty good at it, but finally got bucked off. Even dad got bucked off pretty fast. I was the only one in my family that didn't. We all got this cowboy hat to wear, so when Eli (age 6) was on the bull, the hat kept slipping over his eyes forcing him to only hold on with one hand!
After everyone had their turn of fun and laughs, we started our drive to Drumheller, where we visited the Royal Tyrell Museum. What we saw was far more than I had expected! There was amazing dinosaurs there. And there were also these fish who's origins dated back to over a million years ago and ones that walked and looked like miniature dinosaurs!
There was also this room for kids to shoot balls about two feet in the air with these little machines, however, this is not how the older cousins and uncles decided to use this room. Soon after we entered, an intense game of “hurl and dodge the ball” broke out. They were soft balls, so they didn't hurt...... to much. Some of the younger children banded up with the older ones against the uncles, but most tried to amuse themselves with the ball shooters. A couple from both groups ended up crying to their moms. Soon, it got to the point where all the moms said “enough” and we continued on our exploration of the museum.
Everyone was sad when the time came for goodbyes. We drove to some friends in Edmonton where we will stay until tomorrow when we go to West Edmonton Mall!
