Bean Meets the (Debate) World

We spent the majority of the last week at the Cross Examination Debate Association National Tournament held at UC Berkeley. Bean was finally able to make it out to meet a lot of the people who have followed her story online and given us a ton of support (thanks again everyone...you really can't imagine what it has meant to us).  She had a great time and my only real worry is that she will be bored when she realizes she will not have hordes of people interacting with her everyday on a regular basis!

It was great to see so many people who I only get to see once a year at this tournament, and missed seeing last year because of Bean's delivery.  Bean was definitely a hit and seemed to make a lot of people happy, even if their tournament wasn't going great.  A few pics from our friend Marissa Grayson:
