Celebrating the Stampede

As many people know, this year was the 100th "birthday" of the Calgary Stampede. As such, we decided to take the kids downtown to watch the parade. Due to the heat of the day, the length of the parade and several other factors, we didn't stay long. We also chose to let the kids stay up really late one night in order to watch the special fireworks they had in honor of the 100th Stampede. Here are some highlights.
