Leia attended her first BaconFest this week, and it was another great success. We had a really great crew in attendance this year, and a whole new menu of incredible and delicious bacon dishes. Josh really outdid himself again. Also on tap was a little golf getaway to Graeagle with Nana and Poppy. We did a little fall hiking in the state park and played golf at Grizzly Ranch for the first time (really beautiful and fun course). And of course, BaconFest is never just one day; with all the leftovers, its actually Bacon Month. We had many more delicious leftover creations.
