Total Devastation

This past weekend, Red Bull sponsored a soap box race. For those of you who have heard of this event, or even have had the opportunity to see one know exactly how exciting this looks. Chiki and I had talked about attending ever since we found out it was headed to Denver. The races were scheduled to begin at noon on saturday. Hannah had a soccer game before and so we decided we would high tell it to Red Rocks right afterwards. We had only been in the car for 25 minutes, when we started to approach "the crowd." After finding a parking space out in the boonies, we began our hike up the hill to Red Rocks. This hill was pretty steep but didn't matter to me ... I was so excited to see the races.

We hadn't even been walking 10 minutes, when we were approached by some other people who were walking down the hill. Apparently, there were so many people crammed into the Red Rocks area, they were no longer letting people in. My heart totally dropped to the ground. I was so sad.

With our smiles now gone, Chiki and I turned back and began our sad journey back to the car. Can you say total devastation.
