This week, we were in a town named Drumheller, in Alberta, Canada. Drummheller is known as the dinosaur capital of the world because it has a great dinosaur museum, and lots of fossils have been found there. It has the world’s largest dinosaur statue.We climbed the 160 steps to the top. Afterwards, we went to a splash park because the hot temps finally returned.

The next morning, we went to an old suspension bridge that was used for miners to get to a coal mine. That afternoon, we went to a canyon named Horse Thief Canyon. It was named that because horse thieves hid horses there and rebranded them. We hiked into the canyon.  There were lots of small underground tunnels. We had lots of fun hiking. I climbed to the top of a hill and had great views of the canyon.

We went to a cool museum called the Royal Terrell Museum. There were lots of different fossils, mostly found in the area.  It was super awesome. The next day, Pa and I  returned to the museum for an activity. Everybody hiked to a little field of rocks and began searching for fossils. Pa found  part of a dinosaur tooth, and I found an imprint of a seed cone. We both found lots of petrified wood. It was super fun!

That night, Ma and I went to my first ice hockey game. Hockey is very violent! The Drummheller dragons won with a score of two to one. I want to go to another hockey game!
