Pickathon Day 1

packing up

This year was my 5th Pickathon (Hannah and Seth's 6th).  Since Hannah and Seth always volunteer (in exchange for weekend tickets) I got babysitting duty Saturday and Sunday morning! It was definately a different pace this year having Sadie with us but it couldn't have gone better.  She loves camping (ie. hanging out in the tent) and she was such a good sport about everything.  She probably won't be getting easier any time soon, so it was a good year to take her. One of the things I love about Pickathon is the family vibe.  It is super kid-friendly and there are always packs of kids running around the whole weekend enjoying a little bit of freedom while their parents have fun (everyone seems to just write their cell phone #s on their kid's bracelets).  Pickathon also has amazing food, great music and the camping makes the weekend so relaxing.

And so the mad dash to get a good camping spot begins (it's first come first served and you can pay extra to get in the day before, which we did not)

Spot found... phew!

Danielle Visits

Danielle is in Seattle for 2 weeks for work (very short notice) and luckily I was able to hang out with her last night and go to our old favorite Mexican restaurant!  She is loving Colorado and it was great to catch up!  Too bad I'm leaving tomorrow for Maine and we didn't get to hang out more.
