We've had a fun week celebrating Doug's birthday, he was born on his mother's 25th birthday...so each year on January 27th we celebrate Doug and Helen's birthdays together! This year she made him 2 dozen homemade cinnamon buns...he was in Heaven!! Our sweet dog, Rachel, turned five, so Doug shared a bun with her!
We took Helen out to dinner on Saturday night to Montanas Restaurant, and had a great time. Lindsay and James and Rhonda and Jim joined us and we all laughed so hard when the 'horns' went on Grandma and the whole restaurant sang to her... she was a very good sport!!
Earlier in the week Jon called and asked if we would like to join them on Friday in Drumheller, they were going to the Tyrell Museum with the kids. They wanted to meet up and celebrate Dad's birthday. So, we got up early on Friday and drove 3 hours to Drumheller and pulled in just as Jon and Tiffy arrived! It was so fun to see them all again! The museum was awesome!! It was so funny to watch Josh and Ava, especially when the dinosaur 'roared'...they weren't sure what to think!
Before long Ava was just a trooper...checking everything out and looking at each of the dinosaurs very carefully, especially the size of their teeth!! There were so many different kinds of dinosaur fossils, were all very impressed!
Joshie is walking on his own, and really tries to run everywhere! It is so fun to watch him just take off and go...it sure makes it easier for Tiff. He just wandered all through the museum and once in awhile would stop and play with some display he found at his level. He is sure starting to look like a little boy and not a baby anymore!!
We are standing in front of a dinosaur named 'Black Beauty'. It was discovered several years ago by two men out fishing on the nearby Red Deer river. They found what they thought was a small fossil, and as it turned out, this massive dinosaur was eventually unearthed!! So amazing that these great massive dinosaurs roamed right under our feet!! Of course that was 10 million years ago...
Looks like this dinosaur is coming over to take a bite out of Tiff and Josh...no way...he's mine... says Tiffy!!! Wow, we could almost imagine being surrounded by snorting, hungry dinosaurs!! We really enjoyed learning about their history here in Alberta and throughout the world.
The Tyrell Museum has the largest display of fossils in the world... It was so interesting, even the kids loved it! We had alot of fun together...and now we are all dinosaur experts!
It has been a great week, and I am so happy to be married to a man that doesn't seem older, but is always very kind and wise! He continues to be a wonderful example and friend to his children and grandchildren!!
