This weekend we hung close to home so we could watch some football Saturday. On Friday night, we headed up the road to Lyons to see the Hi Beams play at Oskar Blues. It was a really fun time and we camped out by the St. Vrain that night. Saturday, we ate a very good breakfast at The Buff. Their slogan is "east in the buff". Man v. Food went there on his episode to Boulder. Chris ordered the Saddlebags, which were pancakes full of stuff...even Bacon. On Sunday, we headed up to Gold Hill for a benefit concert. It was sunny, hot and a great day for that community. However, the drive was very sobering. It is amazing the town is still standing. The burned areas look like you are on another planet.

An Update from This Week
I am ready for Chris to get home, but have been keeping myself entertained. Last Sunday, I went on a Beer Tour with my friends Melisa and Brian. It was a really, really fun time. We visited Upslope, Twisted Pine, and Avery. The mode of transportation was Banjo Billy!
On Saturday, I went to the CU v. Hawaii game with Kevin and Julie. It was a slow start, but the Buffs turned it up in the second half. It was a rather chilly day, but the sun came out the second half. My favorite part is Ralphie running out on the field. However, they had three F-16s do a fly over after halftime. It was really cool!
Today, I headed down to Pearl Street to do some shopping, but most importantly to attend the parade to honor the firefighters from the Four Mile Fire. It was a very moving event and had a great community feel. The streets were lined up with citizens cheering and lots of homemade signs by kids. We owe them so much!!

Football & Four Mile Fire
We started off the holiday weekend by attending the CU v. CSU game. It was fun to go to Mile High to watch it and CU won, but the rivarly did not compare to the SEC. However, we will be going to the CU v. GA game in October and we've heard every hotel room in town is already sold out!
Chris had some co-workers in town through out the weekend, so we hung out around town. It was nice since there was a lot going on. On Monday, we took Megan and Mike on a hike. We were headed to Bear Peak when we noticed smoke. There is a huge fire burning right outside of Boulder. There is 3,500 acres burned already and it is 0% contained. Pray for rain since 63 structures including many homes have already burned...not good!
