Destination Dino! 🦖

On July 10 we woke up to a delicious breakfast spread, filled with the promise of a day packed with excitement and learning. Today's adventure begins with this wonderful breakfast, where the chatter revolves around a topic both fascinating and ancient: dinosaurs. The morning is spent learning paleontology vocabulary, culminating in a thrilling contest where everyone creates their own dinosaur from scratch.

After breakfast and lessons, the journey continues aboard a bus. The atmosphere is lively as games are played and stories are shared. Amidst the laughter and anticipation, the destination looms ahead: Drumheller, Alberta, known as the Dinosaur Capital of the World.

But first, a pit stop at a popular hiking spot with beautiful views. A short drive away from the town, Horseshoe Canyon offers stunning panoramic views and a chance to stretch your legs with a hike along its rugged trails. The canyon's unique geological formations and the vast expanse of the Badlands create a serene backdrop. Of course, a hike wouldn't be complete without a juicy slice of watermelon, fulfilling everyone's need for a sweet snack.

The main highlight of the day awaits at the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Stepping into this renowned museum feels like stepping back millions of years into prehistoric times. The museum's vast collection of fossils, interactive exhibits, and knowledgeable guides make learning about dinosaurs an engaging and immersive experience for visitors of all ages. The awe-inspiring skeletons and detailed dioramas capture the imagination and bring the prehistoric world to life.

As the day progresses, hunger calls for a break. What better way to recharge after a day of exploration than with a visit to the nearby park? Here, amidst the dinosaurs and joyful screams of children and their families, burgers are served for supper. The combination of delicious food and outdoor fun creates memories that linger long after the meal is finished. The delicious meal prepared everyone for the bus ride home, and the many learned facts and sights filled the bus with constant chatter.

In conclusion, from morning chatter about ancient creatures to evening burgers by the park, Drumheller provides a day brimming with discovery and delight. It's a testament to the magic of combining learning with leisure, ensuring that every moment spent exploring this unique destination is cherished forever.
