Canadian Summer Trip: Alberta: Day 4 Royal Tyrell Museum (Dinosaur Museum)

 On day 4, we woke up super early and hit the road at 6 am to get to the Royal Tyrell Dinosaur Museum.  It is about 3 hour drive from Edmonton to the south.  On the way, we saw the vast flat land that Canada has.  We saw hundreds of beaver dams and lakes, but we did not see any beavers.  (too bad)

It has many live sized dinosaur models and skeletons:

I took so many pictures, but I should not spoil it for everyone.  There are way more skeletons then these for the people who love dinosaurs.

On the same day, it was the "community day" for Pokemon Go app.  For those who are familiar with Pokemons.  There are dinosaurs in the Pokemon world as well.  On that day, it was also the community day for "Deino", one of the dinosaurs in the Pokemon world.  

Perfect timing!  We were catching dinosaurs in the dinosaur museum!

Oh, there was the cute prairie dogs in Alberta.  These cute little things are everywhere:

After the museum, we were heading to Calgary on a 1 hour and 45 minute drive.

Canadian Summer Trip: Alberta: Day 3 World Waterpark (West Edmonton Mall)

 We headed to the World Waterpark on Day 3 of our trip.  It is the world's largest indoor waterpark with man-made wave pool and lots of waterslides.  

World Waterpark slides

They have so many kinds of slides.  Some are fast and some are super fast.  Some are pitch black and some are just vertical with 360 twists.  My kids have so much fun, and the only downside is the line up on a busy day.  We have to wait for almost 30 minutes for one slide.  My kids really like the wave pool as it simulates the natural waves in the ocean without the dangerous depth.

They have different color coding for different "thrilled" level each person can tolerate.  I would suggest if the person is scared of height and speed, they should only go for the beginner slides.
