June 2 Tuesday 2009 Day: 4 Jaeden Schafer
Look Out!!
Today we have went back 65,000,000 years to a time when the world was one Continent and rulers where twice the size of a school bus DINOSAURS!
Today l woke up exited for are big adventure at The Royal Tyrell Museum.
But first we took a little stop at the bull riding hall of fame.
After waking up in our cousins drive way and discovering that they where coming with us on are dinosaur adventure we decided to get going right away but as always when you have cousins there is lots of trading seat in the cars but at last we got going.
About half an hour later after we had started driving dad pulled in to the gravel parking lot of an old restaurant and excitedly announced “hear we are at the bull riding hall of fame!” quickly we all piled out and walked inside after looking around a bit we realized that instead of a restaurant it was actually a bar! Lucky for us it was not open so quickly mom said OK kids look over hear as we turned around we saw a huge mechanical bull with a big red blow up rink around it. Instantly there where line ups of kids all wanting to go on. After every one went on and we had all left we started are MOHO and started the next part of are journey.
Weaving our way down the valley through the ancient formations of layered rock on are way to The Royal Tyrell Museum I couldn’t help but thinking this could be home to some of the world greatest dinosaurs of all time.
As I stared off into the town below us I could almost see the Albertasaurus,
T-Rex, and Edmontonsaurus on the move. But as I looked closer I noticed that although they did not move they where actually there! Huge clay and cement Dinosaurs painted like some thing from a IMAX or Hollywood movie some of them towering over the buildings and shops making the experience in a very realistically scary way real. After that welcome I could not wait to see what the museum was like.
Just as are GPS we got from GPScentral.ca said “approaching destination in 5 km” and are cheers of joy where over Dad noticed that are gas gage read empty. So we all decided we had to slow down and get gas. And if thats not bad once we got to the gas station I had to go and wash the windows. (Not a fun job to do Because on the way down we had hit about 50 Billion Bugs that where now splattered against the window and they took a lot of scrubbing to get off)
With luck we pulled out of the gas station in ten minutes we are going to work on are speed next gas up stop.
Finally we arrived at the museum! It was way cooler then I had expected with rooms full of bones weird experiments and glass floors with dinosaur sea life underneath. There was one room that I and most of my siblings agree on that was the best! The Ball room a great big green room with a entrance that turned in a swirl so no balls could escape into the rest of the museum inside this room there were huge ball canons and air blowing tubes that if a ball went over they would make them float.
Then after we had all looked at the last bones and are long day at the museum was over we decided to drive couple of miles and get some sleep or as they say over here in Alberta hit the hay.
