This morning we slept in until the last possible moment. Until Cassidy woke me up to tell me that if we didn't get moving we would miss breakfast. We headed downstairs, had our fill of the great breakfast that this hotel has and then headed out for our field trips of the day.
Our first stop was Reptile World. We finally found this place in downtown Drumheller. The reptiles that were represented there were really neat to see. The unfortunate thing is the people that run that place sure don't keep it clean. Seriously, that place looked like they hadn't mopped or vacuumed it in a month! There was filth everywhere. Unbelieveable! I am sure it brings in a great number of people as there are over 90 reptiles represented there, and though the building is old it could look so much better.
The boys did have the opportunity to hold a boa constrictor. Briton was very quick to step up and offer to hold the snake. Others weren't so forthcoming and politely allowed brothers to take their turn. Eventually, all did hold the snake.
Briton was not in the least bit scared. When the man offered him the snake he cheerfully and fearlessly held him around his shoulder!
After we left Reptile World we drove around looking for the Worlds Largest Dinosaur. This dinosaur is 86 feet tall and has 106 steps inside that you climb up to its mouth. We headed in and up and Briton made it to the top without any help from anyone. I tell you, that boy has certainly earned his 'stripes' on this trip. He is no longer a toddler (not that he was - but given he is my baby, he seems little) - he has moved on up in the world! He is a seasoned traveller, Hoo Doo clambourer, Dinosaur climber, Water Slider etc.
See the foot? Later you will see a picture of my kids on the foot and it will show you just how big this dinosaur is! Also, you will see a picture of the kids in the dinosaur's mouth.
In his mouth - 86 feet up in the air. It was a bit shaky so I left really quickly!
See how huge the foot was!?
