It was Friday evening when we reached Brandon Manitoba we stayed in my mother’s friend’s home. It was nice to enjoy a home cooked meal as apposed to room service and the finger sandwiches made for the car rides .In the morning we decided to see what all the talk was about and go over to grand valley Provencal park. The scenery was astounding there was an abundant amount of trees I was hoping we would not get lost, plus the surprise visits from the wood animals such as moose, bears, dears and chipmunk made it all that more magical. But there were animals I was not looking forward my dad knew that Brandon had the largest reptile exhibit in all of Canada so he really wanted to take a look. , Westman Reptile Gardens was certainly an experience there were over 300 reptiles including snakes, turtles, spiders, crocodiles and other scaled creatures. Not only would I be going home with some new French skills but id also have a brand new appreciation for small garden snakes in my grandmas back yard.
