We stopped in Calgary and visited the zoo for a couple hours around lunch, then stopped in Shelby for supper and hung out at the park, then Great Falls around 10. Not sure what we'll do next, guess I have to spend tonight figuring that out. Although, I swear there are at least 8 HBO channels here.
Once again I don't know if I should be proud at how patient my kids are in the car for so long or disappointed in their lack of ambition.

Mom - we played "zip", but Mara quit after she zipped a field of cows.
