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).

Pancake Breakfast with the University of Waterloo Alumni

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.

StranMcCann at the end of the parade. Which cowboy is just a littttle tired?

Class of 2031

There's an old adage that says the cloth of the alma mater that touches a child's skin first shall too be that child's alma mater.

Naturally, Emmett's dad was thrilled when Emmett received a lovely University of Waterloo gift from dad's boss Alyson, a fellow Waterloo alum. Alyson said the shirt would be too big but Emmett proved that it was, in fact, too small. Emmett's mom thinks that the shirt is better off worn by a stuffed animal, and that Emmett will be better off studying at the University of Guelph.
