This is quite possibly one of my favorite pictures that I took at Heritage Park Historical Village.
Both sets of grandparents were farmers so I was raised with a birds-eye view of the olden days and life on the farm.
My kiddos are finally old enough to really start appreciating our modern conveniences and they loved going back in time at Heritage Park. We explored some of the 180 historical exhibits, Gasoline Alley’s extensive antique car collection, a gallimaufry of artifacts, rode on numerous old-fashioned carnival rides, chugged along on an authentic stream train as well as cruised on Calgary’s only paddlewheeler on the Glenmore Reservoir.
Then we returned to Grandma and Grandpa’s comfortable and cushy home.
I like to call our day the best of both worlds.
