Sweat Pea Weekend

The first weekend in August is the Annual Sweat Pea Festival in Bozeman.  
I ran the 5k race and I actually didn't walk at all!!  I had a few 8-10 year olds that beat me to the finish line but I was proud that I was able to make the whole way without walking.  My goal was to do that for my last race in September but now I can concentrate on improving my time. 
Taking in the parade with some of my favorite people.
Sean and Mikayla really liked the icepops that the hockey team were handing out.

Many of the past teachers from Rosebud are around the area so they decided to spend the weekend taking in Sweet Pea events and reliving the old days.  They sure had a blast and it was great to see everyone.  Hopefully more will make it next year!

We have visited for hours, enjoyed the Sweet Pea Festival including Shakespeare in the Parks, eaten together including Barb and Snooks' BBQ and Shelly Batey's brunch, and treasured how comfortable we are together.  Nothing like enduring friends.  Pictured are Barb DeCock, Rochelle (Chelly) Pulver, Cindy Coad, Shelly Batey, me, Snooks Schmidt (Barb's cousin), Mary Cress, and Arlis Vannett.  By the way, this is the "first annual" and we hope to have a lot more friends involved next year.
