The next day we did a bunch of messing around including a crazy water fountain which is always fun.
In the afternoon, I had to set up for Namlo's booth at the Brews and Blues festival and then went back to work at it later in the evening. Basically the idea was that a non-profit shared a booth with a local brewery and the non-profit kept the tips. It was one of the most fun volunteering experiences of my life: I drank free beer and put temporary tattoos on beer and blues loving people. Of course with the occasional "building schools in developing countries" plug for Namlo! My friend Laraine came to join me in the efforts and her, Nicole (Namlo volunteer) and I had a very nice time, if not too carried away with the tattoos! Check us out!
Yesterday morning we got up early and drove up to Fort Collins to go white water rafting with the Krolls. No pictures were taken with our camera, but I will have some later when they get home from the trip. It was so much fun. We did a full day trip and stopped for lunch half way. The ratings for rapids are from 1 to 6. One being a smooth river and six being impossible to ride (i.e. Niagara Falls). Our route took us through many 3 and 4 level rapids. Seriously, it was so much fun. Very tiring though.

And today.... This morning I woke up sad knowing that my mom and brother were coming tonight and then, after they left on Wednesday, it would be back to the same old same old again for awhile. I wasn't sad because they were coming, but because they were staying for so short a time and their leaving signaled the return to normal....
