Grandma Carol and Grandpa Charlie Visit

My parents came for a visit over the August long weekend.  It was Grandpa Charlie's first visit to Calgary and although Grandma Carol came when Abby was born, we didn't do any sight seeing with her.

I took them up to the mountains to show them the spiral tunnels, Lake Louise, and Banff during the week to avoid some of the holiday weekend craziness.

We also took them to the zoo.

 
On the weekend we headed Drumheller and the Canadian Badlands.  We tried something new and checked out the Atlas Coal Mine.  Followed by one of Ethan's favorites, the Royal Tyrrell Museum which had a new display of a newly discovered (in Alberta) species.  We also did a short little scenic loop and stopped at Horse Thief Canyon to take in the amazing landscape.

We ate brunch at the Calgary Tower.

We also went out to Canada's Olympic Park.  We played a little mini golf and watched a bobsled come down the track.
