4pm: Day-off, with Nicky's mum over we took the kids to Calgary Zoo. The Zoo, despite it's poor reputation for animal husbandry, is pretty good. A wide range of exhibits, although the Canadian section featuring elk, bears, moose, mountain goats is really just a facsimile of what is lurking in the forests beyond our back garden!! This is the rather tranquil butterfly house, tranquil that is to everyone other than Charlie who hated the butterflies & wanted out ASAP. We took him to the dinosaur park, an excellent exhibit chock-a-block with full size, animatronic dinosaurs - he was terrified at first, creeping past them with as low a profile as you will ever see, but after a while became acclimatised & then fascinated. We ended the day in Fatburger!!! A nice day off indeed...........
