Last night, I did laundry and picked up 2 free books in the laundry room(at many of the laundry rooms, you can leave a book/take a book). Made my night! I also spent some time looking at what we should do during our 1 day in Calgary. We were really tempted to go Calgary Olympic Park. It looked really cool from the highway and online, but budget wise, it just didn’t make the cut. I found Heritage Park Historical Village which looked awesome. It is located on 127 acres, partially surrounded by Glenmore Reservoir. It is Canada’s largest living history museum! It was divided into 4 distinct areas reflecting different time periods: 1864-Hudson Bay Fur Trading Company(Did you know it only took 5 beaver furs to trade for a gun?), 1880s-Pre-Railway Settlement(we learned they started training the Blackfeet Indian boys at a early age to buffalo hunt. They would use games up until ages 9-10, then they could start hunting elk, and be ready to buffalo hunt by age 12), 1910-Railway Prairie Town, 1930-1950s-Heritage Town Square. It had a cool small 4 ride amusement park also with rides from early 1900s(Kane really enjoyed!). Swings, Caterpillar, The Whip(which was risque at the time) and the Ferris Wheel. I convinced the family and off we went! It exceeded our expectations! Here are some pics:
It is so great to see the photos and read about your adventures. It looks like you are having a wonderful time …. such great beauty -: ) Hugs to all……. Laureen
Are you ready to hunt real buffalo? Grandpa wants to know what kind of fish you caught. Grandma wants to know if you are both practicing the piano? Did you know that my grandpa was born in a sod house? Not quite as nice as your RV!!
