wicked. drumheller pt. 1

I had a great day today!

I went to Morgan's house for 9:00am, the meeting place for our epic trip of the ages. Morgan, Cynthia, Carmen, Alex and I traveled in the cozy Santa Fe, across open plains and over dead gerbils, (haha, only not really). We stopped off at the Tim Horton's downtown before we actually left the city limits, and it was a good choice. They bought me an ice cap, it was delicious.

Anyways, once we arrived in Drumheller for Morgan's birthday day trip, we headed right to the Royal Tyrrell Museum. That place is so cool. All of the skeletons of the dinosaurs were awesome. I took a lot of pictures, to be uploaded (some of them) here, and the all of them to Facebook. I realized after, I am not in a single picture I took, :( it seems like I wasn't there at all. We got matching Pterodactyl t-shirts, they are rad, and red. Hah.

Next, we went to lunch, and attempted to solve a crossword. I actually don't know how far we got on the crossword, Nick arrived after lunch, so I drove with him for the rest of the afternoon, up until the point when we started heading back home.

We went to reptile world after lunch. It had a lot of snakes. I had a very bad experience with snakes when I was younger, and I wasn't feeling the best looking at all of them there. Basically, I was probably seven, and was holding some of those tiny corn snakes, that don't bite, and then was bit like twelve times. It sucked. They had a boa constrictor there named Britney, I was going to touch it, but then the handler "reassured" me that it wouldn't bite, and all I thought of was when I was bit when I was young. I am such a giant sissy.

After reptile world came a trip downtown to go shopping, which was really just walking a couple blocks, then back to the cars, then off for icecream then off to the Atlas Coal Mines. It sucks, the tours were over when we arrived, I really wanted to go into the mines.

We went to the suspension bridge, and climed some rocks, it was awesome. I like hiking. I also realized how out of shape I am. :(

Finally, after all of this, we headed over to the worlds largest dinosaur, Drumhellers own Albertosaurus. It was fantastic. I took some nice pictures there, of the group (minus me), and the view. Drumheller is actually a pretty nice place to look around in, I wish we had more time today (and capital to spend on the attractions).

Also, the most important part of the post,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MORGAN!
