Weekend recap:

Friday: Just relaxed around the house and got ready for faire. Very very late friday night the taylors showed up from New Mexico. Got them settled in and passed out.

Saturday: Got a nice solid 6 hours sleep or so. The Taylors were off to a wedding up in estes park, so I headed down to the faire around 8am or so. Got to the booth around 9 or 9:15 or so. Walking from the car to the booth was pretty difficult. Had the 3 hounds on leash, my cooler, and a 20lb box of 2000 brochures for the booth. Finally made it up the hill and got the booth setup. Opening cannon went off and I was the only one there for a while. It did manage to get better after a while. Had 6 other people at various times throughout the day. Managed to scrape up enough people to walk in the parade, but I had to carry the banner. So far this year I had managed to avoid the parade. :) Around 4pm or so a thunderstorm came in, and boy do I mean thunder. There was a lightning strike in the festival, and man was it loud. Many of the dogs jumped up, but Twyla just woke up and then went back to sleep. Got the booth put away and money gathered and headed home. Got in around 8pm or so. The taylors got in around 11pm from the wedding reception and we all passed out.

Sunday: Got up nice and early and out the door around 8:20 or so. Had a pretty nice drive down to the festival with the taylor family and hounds all loaded into my suburban. It's nice having a large car for such things. Got into the booth around 9:40 or so and there were already folks there. Got all setup and then wandered off with the taylors to see the faire. This is the first time this year I have really had time to go and walk around and see the booths and do shopping, etc. It was very nice. Had a good long day of faire, and got home around 8pm again. We ordered some delivery sushi and thai food then and fed the kids pizza. Overall a very nice day.
