Beagle Rescue Picnic

Every summer, all of the beagles associated with the Colorado Beagle Rescue get together at a local park for a picnic (they are a great organization if you or someone you know is looking for a beagle http://www.colobeaglerescue.org/). We have now attended four and each year have had a great time. Below are pictures from this year's event:


Here is a group picture! Over 30 beagles showed up to the picnic.

They have an agility course for the dogs to practice on. Overall, Bart is quite agile...


unless, of course, he gets hot and needs a break in one of the tunnels.


Every year they have a themed costume contest. This year was centered around politics and the election. We dressed Bart as a "Hanging Chad" and he took 3rd place.

They also host a number of games. Bart is really good at musical plates and places every year. This year he took 2nd. Here Bart is gloating after the game.






Another exciting part of our weekend was the vast amount wildlife that visited the open space behind our house. It gives us a chance to practice with our zoom lense:



We saw 3 deer early Saturday morning.





This little guy ran right up to our fence! He got away pretty quickly once we started taking photos.
