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.

Grey Cup weekend

This weekend saw the 97th Grey Cup game come to town. On Saturday, Emmett's folks took him to see the Grey Cup Parade. He slept through the whole thing. His parents, however, enjoyed watching hundreds of Saskatchewan fans display their Rider pride...

...but not as much as they enjoyed watching one silly intoxicated Edmonton Eskimos fan drink cheap beer from his glove.

On Grey Cup Sunday, Emmett showed his Rider pride by wearing bright green diapers. And, in an impressive display of solidarity with a million Saskatchewanians, he pooped his green pants when Montreal came from behind and won the game in the dying seconds of the fourth quarter.
