Aggie Days

We went to Aggie Days down at the Stampede grounds for Family Fun Day. It was a good value as we only had to pay for parking. We were in the first one thousand people through the gate and got to enjoy a free pancake breakfast. It took a while for us to find the breakfast as it was well hidden. We didn't think there were any animals in the building as we sure couldn't smell them. But sure enough there were plenty of animals to see and touch.


The first stop was by a sweet baby calf. Teagan sure wanted to pet him but he was a little far to reach.


Luckily the goats were a little closer to the fence and easier to pet.


Next was the baby pigs. They were busy eating. I don't know if Teagan touched one as I was busy petting a cute little porker myself.


After we ate breakfast it was so crowded. Vaun got Teagan up close to the Clydesdale's. Teagan reached out to pet his nose. Not really afraid at all.


This baby miniature pony was so cute. He was smaller than Teagan. He didn't have a name yet but they were asking for suggestions. The name had to start with an "m".


Teagan liked the llama. She has see a few on T.V.


They had lots of interactive things and Teagan really liked combing the horse tails. She also got to pet a baby chick but it was a little crowded for a picture.


We took this picture just for Grandpa. They had a huge display of Kubota tractors. Teagan wanted to sit on everyone but again it was very crowded and there wasn't much patience for waiting her turn.


We headed to the corral for the rodeo. We found a good seat and watched the sheep dog competition. It was pretty amazing to watch those dogs. A few of the sheep were pretty bold, one even headed butted one dog and nipped at him.


The rodeo was great. They had a taste of ever event. It started with bareback bronc riding. Then they had two sisters that were trick riders. Then they had the saddle bronc riding. A native hoop dancer followed. Barrel racing and then bull riding. All Teagan kept saying after each rider was "more". She now wants to be a cowgirl and a fireman. It was a great event for basically free. We were surprised that not more people were watching the rodeo.

We didn't want to battle the crowds any more so we left after the rodeo and went to the Farmer's Market for lunch. It too was very crowded so we didn't stay long. When we got home I was exhausted and had a four hour nap.
