Calgary Stampede

Went with the Patersons to take in the Calgary Stampede 2006. It was fun seeing Sierra and Ethan enjoying the rides. Went to Auntie Amanda's hot dog booth for lunch and ate some of those yummy mini-donuts for dessert. It was quite hot and I have a great sunburn on my arms too. Just as we entered the Stampede grounds a gentleman approached Sara and Sierra and gave Sierra the dog he won. He wasn't going to need it and he thought Sierra would. How nice of that man to do that.


I am ready for my pose - this really is my best profile. Don't I look particular handsome with my new wooden-chip coat? As we were leaving we saw this Llama with it's owner.


Do you like my new do? I just got clipped. This is an Alpaca - related to the Llama. My sister inlaw has alpaca woolen mittens and have been told they are quite warm. Good thing for our cold winter days.


Llama and her date. The owner was showing how domesticated the Llamas are and got this man to put some food in his mouth and let the Llama take it from him. The guy ended with a Llama kiss too.
