Our first big adventure in Calgary was to Heritage Park. We have heard much about it both from Brianne and her little guy Wyatt. We knew we would see big trains... and even get to ride on one! We were excited!
{Rupe and Wy in the double stroller... yes my child is only 1 and a half and hers is 2 and a half...}
{Rupert following his big buddy!}
Our first stop at Heritage Park was the first synagogue on the prairies that had been relocated to Calgary... Colin clearly had to try his hand at this Jewish custom.
Ok... so seriously... walking around Heritage Park was like walking around Avonlea... it was amazing!!!!!! There are day camps where the kids come and learn about what it was like "back in the day" and get to dress and participate in "olden day" activities. Sooooo much fun!
Not really too much to say about this one... except that it was a beautiful house besides the cheesy character with the peace sign...

{Maybe next year Rupe will get to ride on the horse... but for now he was stuck in the carriage with the moms}
{Our ride...}
{The engineer... not the conductor... ask Wy, he'll tell you.}
{Our ride stamps}
{Here it comes!!!!!!!}
{My precious B... looking beautiful, but clearly not impressed that I'm taking her photo}
{In the words of Don the Pteranodon... hello Mr. The Conductor}
{Rupe looking... not as thrilled as he should be to be riding a train!}
{love these next two photos... Colin took them while I was baby wrangling!}
{Checking out the Hudson's Bay trading post... right before a massive fall off the bench... to be followed by a nap in daddy's arms}
{Calgary sky line}
{Perfect place for a nap}
Sadly Rupe slept through all the cool animals... so we took some photos to look at when we got home.

It was a wonderful day!!!!!!! I could have spent a lot more time there... it's so different sight seeing with a kid. This was our first experience and it was kind of weird not to be able to just keep going and look at everything. However I do so love seeing things through Rupert's eyes. Everything is so new and exciting. We thoroughly look forward to going back again!
Love that you have a Heritage Park post on your blog, seeing as our blog should be titled just that! Wyatt was super excited as I read the post and just kept saying "next one" so I would scroll down to the next photo. So need to get these photos from you! Also just to add, the beautiful house at one time had Brad Pitt in it which I think is super cool:) And how is there only 6.5 lbs of baby in that belly? Come on!
