It's Stampede time in Calgary! For the past week it's been nothing but rodeos on the news and tourists walking around in cowboy hats. And even though the Stampede is a big deal in Calgary, Jamie and I aren't really fans of the annual event. We find the grounds to be extremely crowded and the cost of admission to be really expensive. Needless to say, we didn't take Brandon down there for his first Stampede experience. We did take him to his first Stampede breakfast though. Every year our neighbours put on a fabulous free breakfast for their friends. They rent a tent and tables and cook up pancakes, hash browns and bacon for everyone. This year they even had a real cowboy sing karaoke for us while we ate! Brandon donned his only cowboy shirt and headed next door to join in the fun. As the youngest cowpoke there, Brandon was a big hit.
Later that same day, Brandon attended his first kids birthday party. Little Julie Finnigan turned three years old and she was having some friends over to celebrate. Brandon put on his party hat and enjoyed watching the "big" kids play. At one point they even included him in some of their games. Mommy and daddy may have found it a bit loud and hectic at times but Brandon really seemed to be enjoying himself. Here's some photos from our day :)
