This one's for Daddy...

Here are a few snaps from the week so Matt can get a little Boyd fix while away in Vancouver. Attempts to speak with Boyd on the phone haven't been very successful for his poor Dad, as Boyd insists on holding the phone himself, which results in either instantly hanging up, or him shrieking while I try to prevent the hanging up. Maybe Boyd should stick to e-mail until he's a little older...

A Day at Spruce Meadows

Boyd, with his friends Nolan, Clare and Lucas, spent today taking in the sights, sounds and horsey smells of Spruce Meadows.

Here is a video clip of Boyd watching, and Mommy doing, some show jumping.


Boyd noticed some people, wearing similar pants to his own, standing near a tank. He immediately fell into his role as "Little Commander" and brought the group some much needed discipline.


Our trip coincided with the first day of the Stampede rodeo. Boyd celebrated by riding some recycled bucking broncos.


After watching all the riders around the Meadows, Boyd became inspired that he too should ride some horses. He found a pony, and hopped on...



Boyd was fascinated by the pipe and drum group. He paid close attention in order to learn tricks that he might be able to use in his own drumming.


And finally, here's a clip of Boyd taking in the Spruce Meadows experience while he and the gang ride the complementary CN train around the grounds.
