What Calgary was about...

Calgary Alberta. This is where I picked up the Brit to start his adventure in Canada off with a bang. Unfortunately we forgot to take many pictures!!! Or maybe it was we forgot the batteries.......either way not too many pictures from this.

These pictures are from the Calgary Stampeed. The Calgary Stampeed is the largest rodeo in the world. The rodeo has everything that you would like to see. Bull riding, bronco riding, steer wrestling, barrel racing, and steer tie down.

Around the Stampeed is a very large fair that has all the tasty, fatty treats that we all know and love, granted under different names. Our favorite snack was a bison burger. Oh so yummy and with less fat and a stronger flavor than beef!!

The second part of the Stampeed is the evening show. But before that happens you get to watch the chuck wagon races!! Each team consists of one chuckwagon (with four horses) and 4 out riders. That was an exciting time.

This is a picture of the chuckwagons racing across the finish line.

While we were in Calgary I was able to catch up with my best girl!!!! Don't worry I only put the pictures on here that make us look good!!!

Ahhhh the gopher. Some thought it was a made up animal, others are just amused by it's ability to make a grown man jump when they aren't expecting it.

At the Calgary zoo they have many animals/reptiles that you won't see in most of the world. One is right behind us........

This would be another one. Hello mister bison.

We stole this one............

These too......... in all their plump glory...
