We took our annual trip to see the Stampede Fireworks last night. Pulled the kids outta bed and went down to our regular spot and had a great time. The weather was warm with a bit of wind the kids had fun being silly and eating the traditional fare....Timbits!! LOL

All bundled up and ready to watch the show

This is why we go, the magic that it creates for the kids makes it all worth it and makes me smile everytime.

Stampede 2011

We took the kids down to the stampede grounds this past sunday for our annual trip. It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time but were very exhausted by the time we got home, we ended up staying for 8 hours, we completely lost track of time but it was well worth the exhaustion!

Riding the train to the grounds, bright and early

























Liv's first ride of the day
























I wanted to get a picture of Carter on the kiddie ferris wheel, it didn't go over well, he didn't like not being right beside me LOL.













Cy enjoying his ride on the monster trucks LOL












Such a change from last year, Carter was SO excited to go on rides this year, it was so much fun to watch him!
















Playing whack a mole




























By far we really enjoyed the roosters just outside the barns, they were very cool to watch, they also had little ducks (more like toddlers than babies) in with the roosters, Liv LOVED them, wanted to take one home LOL.











Cater couldn't wait to see the miniature donkeys, they were very cute, there was a super fuzzy one and I wanted to take him home!











Posing infront of an old fire wagon














traditional picture of my family members riding the missile, I think it's my turn next year LOL











Trying on some helmets, very cute













Testing out a sniper rifle












Liv couldn't wait to ride the swings, she's too small for the ones at Heritage Park so she was super excited that she was tall enough for these.











My biker dude and dudette











Carter making sure that Liv is driving on the track LOL.











Riding the bee's














more bee's















Carter looking over the edge of the big ferris wheel and scaring the crap outta daddy.
