What a day!

It's fall in the wiregrass and the festivals are everywhere. Peanuts are a big thing here so most of what we did centered around nuts...how fitting. The husbands had to work today so all the girls (me, Megan, Layla, Abigail and Elizabeth) headed out for a day of festival frolicking.

This was me for what seemed like most of the day.

First stop...Nuts about Mutts

The only reason we knew this fund raising event was going on was because of Thomas (Megan's husband). He's a K9 MP and they did a demonstration at this event. It was cool.

Did I mention he's a killer?

The girls loved it! OK, Elizabeth not so much.

On our way out we ran into this guy. His name is Sterling and he was a giant! He didn't even have to strain to say hello to me face to face in my van window.

Then we headed north to Brundidge for the Peanut Butter Festival. This is the one I really wanted to see. They have the Brundidge Peanut Butter Museum listed as a place to visit in the front of the wiregrass yellow pages. The museum is only open one day a year for the Peanut Butter Festival. I missed it by one weekend last year and have been itchin to go for the last 51 weeks.

It was a really great day.


Oh yeah. We saw Roger from The Biggest Loser Couples at the Subway in Enterprise. Did y'all know he was from here? And because I'm a loser I begged Megan to snap his picture...I was too chicken to talk to him.
