Summer vacation 2011 - Stage 2


After almost a week in Edmonton, it was time to move on to Central Alberta.  We first made a quick 'birthday stop' in Fort Saskatchewan.  We enjoyed a piece of birthday cake to celebrate Ciara and Madison's birthdays! 

Happy birthday beautiful girls!  Wish we would have had room for the balloons!
Then it was on to a BBQ with friends in Red Deer and finally our home for the next few days, the home of Uncle Mel and Auntie Sandra, Kiera and Stacey in Lacombe.  This was our base for the weekend as we also spent time with Uncle Rick and Auntie Henriette in Ponoka.   
Kendra's newest favourite toy: Auntie Sandra's i-pad!  They loved  playing Angry Birds and setting up a zoo for Auntie Sandra.  Kendra now has a new item for her Christmas wish list - she better keep wishing!!
 Then, it was on to Drumheller for the day.  For those of you who may not know, Kendra is a little bit of a dinosaur enthusiast!  Honestly, she knows more about those creatures than I thought a 6 year old could know about anything.  For the past 2 years, once she found out about the dinosaur museum in Drumheller, she has been saving her money to go here.  Well, her day finally arrived!  We left the 2 younger kids at a friend's place in Drumheller (thanks Summer!) and had a great afternoon, watching Kendra be totally fascinated by this place.  It really was fun to watch her!
Her excitment grows as we drive into Drumheller!

She is taking after her father and loves to take pictures.  These are the badlands where the dinosaurs used to roam millions of years ago!

Me and my crazy girl!!

Getting a little of the silly excitment out of the way before the serious dinosaur learning.

These creatures truly were amazing! 


On our way from Drumheller to Airdrie, we had stop to and take a picture of one of the many canola fields that were in full bloom all over Alberta.  Beautiful!
