Riverfest!

Today was Stella’s first riverfest! Our town does an annual festival that includes a kayak rodeo (basically a funny competition where kayakers compete to do the coolest “tricks” in the water hole), a floating competition of junk boats that people build, live music, drinks and food. Charlie was working, so he had to miss it, but Stells and I had so much fun!

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures – it looked like rain when we started walking down and I didn’t want to worry about my DSLR. Sadly, we got a couple of drops and the clouds dissipated. Colorado needs rain SO badly. 🙁 

  

Make your own blended margarita. 🙂 

Mmmmm….dirt and grass!

After three hours, we walked about 1/4 mile down river to a fire pit area with benches to nurse and get her to sleep. There was just SO much fun stuff to look at that a nap was not happening in the middle of the festival!

  1. Wow- looks like a blast! I am so jealous- your town seems like an amazing place to live!

  2. Okay, it is decided… if we ever decide to move from the Dominican Republic, we are moving to your town! It reminds me a lot of the tiny town of 2000 people that I am from… except better and prettier!! It looks/sounds like you and Stella had such a great day. A shame that Charlie had to miss out. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 🙂
