Yesterday we had the most fabulous day in the city. We took the kids downtown, then to the Royal Alberta Museum to see the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit. While we were there we ran into a friend of my husbands, who just so happened to be the curator of the Bug Room at the Museum, so he took us on a private tour. He let the kids touch the bugs and everything! Hissing Cockroaches, Leaf Bugs, Stick Bugs, Millipedes... all sorts of nasty things! After that we drove around town, had supper on Whyte Ave and then headed home. Great day all around. Here are a couple pictures from the day.
