Duck Race

Yesterday was the 24th Annual Estes Park Duck Race. A big deal in town. And rightfully so. We hung out at the starting line and enjoyed some live music, Bloody Mary's and ducktasticness on the patio with some friends.

The race is a huge charity event with great prizes. Here's hoping our adopted ducks won! (results have yet to be posted).

After the launch party we took a nap break and then headed over to a friend's house for a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta BBQ. It was a great day.




















Minor hiccup of the day; Shortly after the ducks raced by, Cruz decided to drop his sippy cup into the River (slightly embarrassing). Luckily the Rotary Club Members were posted along the river so I have no doubt it was rescued. Cooper was very worried when this happened. He did NOT want to leave until the beloved cup was saved. We finally had to tell him the cup was going to be very useful to the ducks as they were inevitably going to get thirsty during the race. Hopefully, the cup gave OUR ducks the extra pep needed to win. Way to go Cruz!

And here's my 'duck face' at the 'Duck Race'. Ya gotta love 'duck face'.....
