Calgary Stampede 101 Hell or High Water 2013

 

 

 

 

 

We had a great time in Canada as well as the Calgary Stampede Rodeo, Chuck Wagon races and night show. The weather was nice for us our hole trip. It's amazing to see the show really did go on after the floods they experienced just two weeks before. The city did an amazing job with clean up and everything took place with no problems. The night show blew us away. It was produced by a company out of Beijing China. It reminded me of the opening ceremony of the Olympics. It was unbelievable! The chuck wagon races were a riot so much action going on. They gave away 1 million dollars just for the chuck wagon races alone. Each outrider earns $100.00 a mount with 9 heats a night 10 days straight I would say that's some good money. The winners of each event in the Calgary Stampede got to fill their wranglers with a $100,000.00 check. not too bad for an 8 second ride! It was so fun to watch the best of the best compete at such a prestige rodeo. Everyday after the rodeo the round winner was presented with a bronze statue. Something I'm sure they will never forget!

Glacier National Park 2013

 

 

We had Great trip this summer we left home and drove through Montana stopping in Dillon and then again in Hungry horse just outside of Glacier National Park. Shawn's whole family along with Dennis and Sheila Woolsey. We stayed 1 night in Dillon and 3 nights just outside Glacier. The drive was not bad at all just about 5 hours each little jont. The scenery was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Montana is so gorgeous with all the pretty pines. Glacier was really fun to see for the first time. We drove the road to the sun and it was amazing. So many neat waterfalls we lost count.

Well our annual trip to Flaming Gorge sure did not disappoint this year! The fishing was awesome, well until the boat broke. The weld on the stag on the motor broke. Sure put the fishing to a halt but the days they were up and running they caught the heck out of them. The weather was awesome! Kyle even broke out the knee board, was a little cold but he insisted on breaking it out for the first time this year.
