Last weekend, Stillwater celebrated Lumberjack Days, an annual festival commemorating the great history of our fair city (Coffee-Shop-Antique-Stop Days being already taken). By 8:00 a.m., the boaters were already zoning in on the best spots. We decided to walk the stairs to downtown.
Adam ("Cupcake-o-saurus"), Jake, Jeremy, and Molly rose early to compete in the 5K. Molly, in fact, bested all the guys by a good 3 minutes.
As for myself, I couldn't even get up early enough to grab a cup of coffee, and instead settled for a Dixie cup of hose-water and a bag of Old Dutch potato chips reserved for race participants. Next time I'll think twice before hitting the snooze.
Rob finished last of all, probably because he couldn't move his arms.
Actually, Rob took the 10-mile scenic route and was very sorry to miss out on the pancake breakfast assembly line show.
Later, we caught some Dock Dogs long-jumping into a pool to reach a duck decoy they can never really have. Look for it on your Outdoor Channel soon - if your husband has not recently cancelled cable. Go dogs!
We took TJ to the parade on Sunday, where he was mesmerized by the giant shopping cart of potential dog treats.
When that excitement passed, we sprayed down local floats with the garden hose. To be fair, they did ask for it. You can't get this kind of fun in the big city, kids.
I wish I had photos of the 1860 Vintage Base Ball games, the excellent fireworks (best I've seen in a very long while), and Emily's superb raspberry cheesecake, but it was difficult to balance the camera with my sweet tea/lemonade/extra vodka cocktail. Instead, I'll leave you with a picture of a goat. Good times.

As always Lumberjack days looked as you enjoyed another great activity. The pancake brakfast line looked familiar.
