We started off our day with a lovely drive up through Boulder (didn't see any smoke from the fires!) and a quick stop at Starbucks for coffee and a cinnamon roll for me and Brady:-) Then, we headed inside the festival gates and straight towards the dog shepherding show (for lack of a better term). It was so fun watching the dogs herd the sheep this way and that in response to their owner's commands or whistles. Very impressive!
Then, we hit up the food tents for some much needed nourishment:-) While we waited in line, we were serenaded by a bagpipe and drum core playing in the center of the food tents. I loved their cadence and sound! Bagpipes are always so cool when played well.
In addition to enjoying the food, we made sure to include shopping at the Scottish/Irish bazarre under huge white tents. S and I stocked up on cashmere scarves for ourselves and to give as gifts to other deserving ladies. So soft! They had every color you could imagine.
After browsing through all the stands and vendors' merchandise, we headed to the concert tent where we listened to two very talented bands play Scottish tunes and original tunes with the use of electrical instruments, drums, and bagpipes of course! Baby loved feeling the drumbeat pulsing through my tummy and he kicked quite a bit in response to all the noise and music.
Probably the most random citing of the day were the seven DeLoreans parked in a row in front of where I bought a very yummy cherry limeade. Andy loved photographing these cars and we all commented on how we would probably never witness this many DeLoreans in one place ever again. Ahh... how I loved those Back to the Future days of my childhood:-) Good memories!
By the end of the day we were all ready for the shade and rest of the car ride home. We stopped in Lakewood for our favorite Mexican restaurant, Jose O'Shea's, for an early dinner and boy was it good! Baby and I loved us some cream cheese chicken enchiladas - YUM! It was a perfect ending to a wonderful day.
