BBQ fest 2012 was a blast! Den and I came to hang out with the crew on Thursday afternoon then we headed back to the house around 4 or 5. Mom got a babysitter so she could go out and celebrate with friends for the night.

Then we got up early Friday morning to drive to Cartersville so we could see Pat-Pat's last graduation! Pat-Pat finally retired...Wooo HOO!

Mom did one of her favorite things while in Cartersville....Hike Pine Mountain but this time I ran up the entire mountain and down (with cuts and scrapes to prove it!...ha). Then we heard the great news that Swina placed 2nd overall in the shoulder!! Way to go team!

We were a little sad that we couldn't be there to celebrate the hard work but like your dad said, "we'll do it again next year."
