Beerfest

Yesterday we participated in the annual Wichita beerfest. Unfortunately this was the first year since we started going that my work didn't have a fundraiser taking place. Therefore we had to pay to get in and didn't get a free t-shirt. That kind of sucked! But, all in all it was a good time, as always. It was packed as usual and women were the minority hands down. It was so nice to have short lines to the womens' bathroom and the mens' line was forever long.

This year we had a guaranteed DD (not drunk driver) as Lisa didn't drink this year because she is expecting. She was quite the trooper dealing with all the drunks.

 Cheers!

Rachel, Lisa (our DD) and me

 I asked Ryan to take a picture of the three of us and Ryan asked some random guy to take a pic with us. He happily obliged. What a cheeseball.

At 4:00pm we had taste tested until we were silly and beerfest was over we headed to Old Town for dinner and more drinks. By 8:00pm most of us were ready to head home, but one of the youngsters of the group was insistent we stay. He is a whopping 22 year old, a senior in college student teaching in Augusta. He was all about the party until the "older" boys started buying him shots such as prairie fire (tabasco and vodka) and the nastiest shot ever (queso and tequila). By 8:30pm he was hurting and the bar trash can became his new best friend. The ride home was entertaining to say the least, as the older boys taunted the youngin' the entire way. I'm guessing that young man will not be taking shots for quite some time. Live and learn.

Thanks Gramma Muhlig for coming down to take Madelyn to her soccer game and staying the night.
