Friends with Bandanas

My wonderful parents made the 5 hour trip to visit us this last weekend. We tend to see our families every couple months, but hadn’t seen my parents since February, so it was especially nice that they came to stay- even if we didn’t have a house for them or their friends to stay at. The Kruise of Klamath was happening this weekend, which is always cause for great festivities. Oddly, the weather decided to use up one of it’s 60 days per year that it’s allowed to rain.

These two are two peas in a pod in attitudes and lack of ability to understand other dogs. Kenzie’s family watches Gracie on days that Cole and I work, so we were more than happy to take her to the car show with us while they were out of town. The girls wore bandanas to showcase their beautiful girly-ness. They didn’t mind them at all and loved all of the attention. They even had a few admirers that learned their names so they could come back each time and greet them.532687_3844804170035_843529781_nIMG_2116 After an activity-filled weekend with the folks that included a car show, a tailgater, and classic cars dragging the gut, we said goodbye and were on our own on Sunday afternoon. The weather warmed up a little bit and allowed for us to check out the Klamath Kinetic Challenge. Having no idea what this was, we were extremely surprised to find out that it was awesome! As a challenge where people around town create homemade sculptures to compete in a variety of races, we were very entertained. The more crazy and kooky, the better, so it was quite the spectacle.

I’ve already applied to be a helper for next year. :)
