Rubber Duckie Race

Sunday was the annual Rubber Duckie Race here in Crested Butte.
It works like a raffle where you purchase tickets and they race the ducks in the river through town.
I don't know for sure why, but this is one of my favorite things about summer. I love the duckie race.
Brooks is into the Olympics this year so he was excited about the "race" too.
Brooks was in tears when we discovered one of our ducks (we had bought 10) hadn't won. He just knew he was going to win.

What a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon in the mountains!

One very tired little boy! This was about 5:30 when I finally knew I had to wake him. He was out!I couldn't resist the picture of him in his duckie shirt.
