When you live in the DC area, there is almost always something going on that you can take your whole family to. And there is almost always something going on that involves at least one player from one of the local professional sports team(s).
And this weekend was no exception.
With this Sunday being a Redskin bye week, my family (most of them at least) and I headed out to the Doggone Natural’s Barktober Fest in Ashburn, VA.
This event had everything. Dogs of all shapes and sizes, a whole bunch of pet adoption and wellness booths, Free Food, Bounce Castles, Pumpkins, and Redskins!
My wife brought along our two greyhounds for generating interest in the VAGA (Virginia Greyhound Adoption) organization and foster/adoption programs.
Mark and William practically lived in the bounce castles and the free food line. Genna took many of the pictures and I, well, I basically tried to make sure we came back with the same number of dogs and kids as we went there with.
Mark and William also got a chance to meet and get signatures from some famous redskins such as Graham Gano, Chris Horton, Anthony Armstrong, and the Hogettes!
And as a special bonus, they got the opportunity to try on a pair of Super Bowl Rings. Pretty Cool!
Towards the end of the day everyone started winding down and looking for a comfortable spot in the shade to lay down.
Here are Mark, William and Hero chillin back at the VAGA tent.
Here are some more shots from our resident photographer, Genna.
