Here are a few of my photographs from this year's Calgary Stampede day with Oliver. With pandemic and everything we missed a few years but it was nice to visit it once again and to document Stampede adventures of our little cowboy, who is getting to be not so little pretty fast :)

This big wheel looks pretty but it was the worst thing to waste our time and money on... couldn't really see anything through the glass, the smaller wheel is a much much better option!

Lines for interesting foods were very long and food prices are just ridiculous, so this year we decided to just go home and get some take out :)

Here are a few of my photographs from our 7th annual Calgary Stampede day with Oliver. Our little cowboy is growing fast :)

This year we had my sister and her son Lucas visiting from Florida, so Oliver had a cousin to hang out at Stampede with.

Oliver finally tried mini donuts for the first time :)

Here are a few of my favourite photographs from our 6th annual Calgary Stampede day with Oliver.

This year we played way too many games, I guess it was too hot for anything else :)

Oliver was really into all the art.

I decided to try some Stampede food.. way overpriced and really not worth it.

A few days back we spent some time at Calgary Stampede with Tracy and Oliver, and for the 5th year in a row I took photographs of Oliver having fun. If you ever been to Calgary Stampede, you know its not an easy day... trying to photograph 4 year old could be a challenge, but great to have the memories!

Oliver wanted to pose with every cutout he saw.

This year I decided not to buy any fancy foods and just had a BBQ pork salad.

I guess I also got to finish Oliver's ice-cream, so that was kinda fancy :)

I wonder how much meat gets consumed at the Stampede :)

For the 4th year in a row we spent a day at Calgary Stampede with Oliver, where I took some photos of our little cowboy :)

A little snack to see what strange foods Stampede has to offer this year. Oliver was happy to help me with this chicken waffles thing.

A girl decided to join Oliver for a ride... she seems pretty happy, I guess Oliver knows how to show a girl a good time :)

I was pretty hungry and decided to get some ribs. Seeing all the awards for this place I gave it a try... not very impressed, and Oliver spit it out after trying a bite... I guess its a compliment that he loves ribs when I cook them.

Oliver of course was a happy little guy playing tons of games and going on rides!

This guy loves corn!

Since Oliver was born, it become a tradition of us going to Calgary Stampede and me documenting Oliver having fun... this year wasn't an exception :) We started late, had to wait for Oliver to get up from his beauty nap, so there was no time to waste!

We started with a bike show and Oliver was sceptical at first but as soon as the show started, he was cheering, waving and was one happy little guy!

After the bike show it was time to go and do some rides, we started with some rides where we could see everything from above.

Oliver had lots of fun but don't let Tracy's smile fool you, she was super scared :)

Oliver loved playing games, and won some new toys :)

This was the first ride Oliver did by himself, he is getting so big! He loved it so much he had to do it three times :)

Trying to eat healthy at Stampede is very hard with all the tasty food everywhere around you. I managed to stay away from it and just had a fresh juice :)

Tracy's favourite game.. she won a toy for Oliver :)

This one is Oliver's game.. the one where they try to guess your weight. Oliver is unbeaten in all three Stampedes he has attended :)

Pee break before the drive home.

We partied at Stampede all the way till the sun went down. Beautiful sunset for our drive home :)

Yesterday Tracy, Oliver, and I had a fun evening at Calgary Stampede :) This was second Stampede for Oliver and I tried to document it for him, as I did last year.

Oliver loved seeing all the animals.

This was an interesting idea with all the pins of visitors :)

I really wish we had a bit more time so I could buy some Red Velvet mini donuts and some other junk food, but all I bought was this very very overpriced burger.

Oliver had some fun playing games, although he was not a fan of mommy hitting these guys on their heads. He cried and tried to protect them with his hands. Oliver is a lover not a fighter :)

Oliver fooled this guy about his weight and won some toys :) Tracy also finally found her favourite game.

Another successful Stampede!

Busy day today! Tracy and I took Oliver to see his first Calgary Stampede :)

Oliver played some games :)

Ate some junk food... ok, we didn't let him eat mini donuts, this was just for a photo :)

Went on some rides :)

Oliver petted his first horse and saw a bunch of different animals :)

Great day at Calgary Stampede! Looks like we missed a huge hail storm in Airdrie, highway was covered in hail on our way home!
