Stampede Breakfast (no.3)

Yesterday morning we went to the chuck wagon breakfast at Olympic Plaza downtown.

There is so much fun stuff to see and do downtown during Stampede!

Face painting (except Ayla refused to have it on her face, so in her case it was hand painting)

Giant horses to hug.

And we even got roped into doing some Square Dancing!

And now I think we're Stampeded-out for this year. :)

Stampede Breakfast (no.2)

Our second Stampede Breakfast was a bit of a flop. It started pouring when we were standing in line for food, and we ended up sitting on the floor inside the mall to eat our pancakes (so much for ambiance!)

However, just as we were leaving the rain stopped and we did get to see some horses and hear some country music.

And we got a balloon.

So I guess it wasn't all for nothing.

Stampede Breakfast (number 1)

This morning we attending our first Stampede Breakfast of the season.

Since we completely missed out on Stampede last summer, we are planning to make up for it this year. Plus, who doesn't love free pancakes, sunshine, and country music??

Ayla desperately wanted a picture with this Rodeo Princess

Pony Rides!!
