DRUM
It was like 200 degrees in Calgary today, so my mom, Nate and I decided to do the smart thing and go to the one town that was even hotter: Drumheller!
We saw some hoodoos, which are pillars/spires of rock formed when softer, more eroded rock is topped with some sort of harder, less eroded rock.
You could really see the different layers of rock!
We were going to go to the Royal Tyrrell Museum (dinos) too, but we figured it would be really crowded during the summer season.
Woo!
Edit: Nenshi has won the election for the leader of the Alberta NDP! He won it with 86% of the votes, which is like the highest in the history of party leadership voting in Canada. Because Nenshi is awesome.

Hello again!
Today, Nate and I took a little road trip to Drumheller to check out the Royal Tyrrell Museum, a museum dedicated solely to paleontology. It’s tucked away a little ways outside of Drumheller proper, but it’s super cool and worth visiting if you have any interest at all in paleontology and/or dinosaurs in general. I should have brought my good camera, but since all I had was my iPod, these are the only pics y’all get.
Check it out if you’re ever in southern Alberta!
