Stampede 2012 - 100 years and counting

"Emmett, did you like the Parade?"
"Yup."
"What was your favourite part?"
"I like the firetrucks and the cleaners! I LOOOOVE the firetrucks and the street cleaners!"
(And yes, just to clarify, Emmett is referring to the street cleaners who follow the horses, cleaning up their poo).

Keeping a two year old entertained for two hours while waiting for the parade to start is no easy feat...

Stampede Caesar. Yes, that is bacon. No, Emmett's parents did not quaff these back at 9 in the morning.

Cyclist or cowboy?

Eager to launch his cycling career, Emmett dragged his parents out for a ride on the long weekend. They secured his stroller to the back of his dad's bike, plunked a helmet on Emmett's head, and hit the trails for a leisurely ride around the city.

His parents were excited to tow him around and were certain that Emmett would be fall in love with "cycling". Maybe he would even go pro.

Emmett's career as a cowboy looks a little more promising.
