Aggie Days 2013

 Even though the weather is still wintery it is Spring and Springtime in Calgary means it is time for Aggie Days!
The girls wanted to wear their cowboy hats and were very excited to go see all of the cool agricultural exhibits from Alberta farmers.
 Gwen got to try on a Fireman's jacket.  I think about 5 Gwens could have fit in there!
 Cara had to try it too!
 Next Cara got to meet and talk to this cowboy who was teaching kids how to rope a stear.
Cara loved talking to a cowboy!
 Gwen had to try too!
 We made some rope!
 Checked out some sheep.
 Cara got to give this cow an examination!
She could feel the baby cow inside!
 Daddy elbow deep in a cow!

**Haha - not a real cow!!**
 We saw this sheep be shorn.
 Our annual portrait by the giant tire!
 The kids love hugging giant mascots (thanks to Disneyland) and they were very excited to give Harry the Horse a huge hug!  He is the Calgary Stampede mascot!
 And they ran up for a hug from this other horse guy hanging out.
A mama and baby cow.
We saw so much stuff and had tons of fun this year at Aggie Days.  We planted seeds and are now waiting for our sunflowers to sprout.  The girls are excited for next year!
