Booya and Beavers

Good morning!

Ryan recovered in jig time so he could attend Booya Festival as Paddy Beaver. Here he is chatting up attendees.










He did well talking to people. Most little kids ran up to him and hugged him but a few of the little guys (under two years old) were a little scared. It's not every day you see a six foot beaver coming at you!


Here's the cook, stirring up the booya and you can see the musicians in the background as well as Paddy Beaver making the rounds.

Both regular and vegetarian booya were served as well as hotdog and brats.

The observatory people had a telescope out to see the sun which was awesome. It appeared as a great big red ball and you could see a sun spot in the northwest corner of the sun. Also you could see solar flares by watching the edges. Honestly, it looked like a film I saw in health class of sperm attaching to the ova. They were little squiggly lines.

The fall weather was crisp and autumnal. Just perfect. I just they were up around four hundred attendees when we got there and we stayed to the bitter end.

Just before we left I took a quick photo of the picnic table that was wheelchair accessible. I like seeing that, you know? 


As you can see, there were some close parking spots as well. All in all a great time. There were crafts and games for the kids and a building in case it rained. A shout out to all the staff for amazing planning and the volunteers for making it fun!

Gotta scram, work calls.

God bless you!
Much love and joy,

Karen
