Today was Lafayette’s 10th annual Peach Festival.  We harnessed up the dog, put on our caps (forgot to wear sunscreen) and walked to downtown.  The Peach Festival is a celebration of Colorado Peaches / Street Fair.  Any way you could fashion a meal with a peach, you could probably buy it at the Fair.  We figure it was probably around 2.5 – 3 miles from our house to the Fair.  Lava quit before we made it downtown and required assistance (aka Noah carried her).  He also carried her around the Fair so a) she wouldn’t get trampled and b) wouldn’t burn her tootsies on the hot asphalt.

Our peach treat de jour this year was a smoothie, which we had to wait around for 15 minutes to get as the vendor had ran out of juice.  But we took turns sitting in the shade with the dog vs standing in line.  I think I managed to sit in the shade more.  🙂  I was going to buy kettle corn but decided the vendor was charging too much for the small bag and I didn’t need the popped corn goodness that bad.

On the way home, Lava quit several times…pretty much whenever she came across shady grass (it was in the 90s today — but we came prepared with plenty of water).  She finally quit for good when we were about 5 houses away from out own and got a lift the remainder of the way.  I think we need to invest in a wagon.

Here’s a video the Daily Camera shot from today’s Fair.  The city is estimating 20,000 people attended.
