Stampede Breakfast at Bobcat of Calgary

Last year for Lucas's second birthday we stopped at a bobcat dealership and they were amazing with him. One of the things they mentioned while we were there was that they have a Stampede breakfast, so Lucas, Nathan and I were sure to attend this year.

One of the great things about this city is Stampede. You could eat all your meals for free for a whole week. Everywhere has a breakfast or lunch and there is always lots of entertainment. Who knew there were so many country bands in this city.



Back to the breakfast we were at this morning. We got tattoos, stickers, posters and bubbles when we arrived. Then they served eggs, pancakes, sausages, hashbrowns and juice for breakfast. Lucas was so excited. There were bobcats everywhere. After a little food in our belly we headed off to see what activities there were. First Lucas operated the mini excavator, although it did take some serious convincing of his mother.



Then we watched some "competitions". Bobcat obstacle courses and how fast could you use a bobcat to grab the hooks and put them in one spot. After wandering around for a bit more was the highlight of the show, the bobcat square dance.



The whole morning was super fun and I will definitely be taking the boys next year, especially for a city girl!

Yeehaw!
