Today we went to Heritage Park. We did not go on the rides but we have fun anyways. We did a scavenger hunt to find artifacts around the park. We were put into small groups for the trip and each group got to choose where to buy their treats. They could choose from the ice cream shop, the candy store, or the bakery. The groups had 3 or 4 kids in them and one adult.
We saw the Hudson's Bay trading post. They said it would cost 6 beaver pelts to buy a special axe. We went on a wagon ride. The wagon was pulled by a team of two horses. We also went to the cottage hospital. It was the first kind of hospital where people could stay in Calgary. Some of us even learned what a bed pan was!
We stopped by the Prince house. It had really nice decorations but very creepy dolls. We also went to the one room school house. The teacher at the school taught us how to read roman numerals. We learned that if you went to school with long or dirty finger nails you would get slapped with the strap! And if you lied you would get slapped 5 times! We are happy we don't go to a school like that!
It was a great day at Heritage Park! Thank you to all the parents who came with us!
