In a "Daze"

I forgot to mention Gypsum Daze, which is unbelievable, since we look forward to it all summer. Talent show, 5K (Kip got 2nd in his age/gender again, I came in before the walkers. My time keeps getting worse. Something wrong with that.), parade, jumpy castles...and for the second year in a row we got free concert tickets. AND we got free VIP dinner tickets / concert entrance. Nice. This year was the first time in the 13-year Gypsum Daze concert history that all 5,000 tickets sold out, for the one and only Charlie Daniels band. It was AWESOME. There's Charlie:

It was Rachel's first concert - which she slept through thanks to our friend Dick Mayne's earplugs.

Nice hat, huh dad? We had a great time!
