boulder creek festival

Every Memorial Day weekend, Boulder has a festival along the creek trail. It's pretty fun, with food vendors, a huge art tent, and lots of local businesses offering free samples. My least and most favorite booth is the Humane Society area, where homeless kitties hang out and hope for a new family. A lot of you probably know that I grew up with kitties, and so did Brent, and I've been missing mine from home a lot since we moved to Boulder. However, we wont be getting one any time soon, because condo homeowner's associations out here aren't too open to allowing renters to have pets. It makes sense, anyways, since we wouldn't have a good place to keep a stinky litterbox in our current and future (as of this coming August) rental.

Either way, we went to the creek festival last year, and again this past Sunday, and it was a nice afternoon. It was less awesome than the first time because it was 85 degrees outside, and it was pretty much exactly the same as last year. We did, however, see lots of cute dogs and kiddos playing in the creek, and we got to sit in a new Prius (really hard to see out the back of), and I got to eat a strawberry snow cone...YUM. On the way back to our car, some big afternoon rainclouds rolled in which cooled things off, and made for a pretty picture that I've posted below. Oh, and all of the pictures in this post have been resized so that if you click on them, they aren't so huge as they were in my earlier posts, and they should load faster. Ok, on with the pictures:


Brent is not thrilled with the heat.


This dog is happy in the creek though.

Some festival booths along the creek. It looks small here, but the festival was really big!


Brent and I... happy again because the clouds came to cool us off! Note my awesome new sunglasses... they totally look see-through in this picture, but it's just because of the camera flash.
