In South Texas we have this fantastic annual event called, Rattlesnake Races. It’s a huge event with sponsors, cold beer, good food, fun people (characters), games, craft booths and yes, rattlesnakes that race. We took the kids yesterday and we are all a tad sunburned and exhausted, but it was soooo much fun!
Here are a few of my favorite shots:
Potato on a stick

This shot from Tuesday morning is still my favorite.

sounds fun although I would never in 10 million years touch a snake – I hate those damn things ever since I was little and my older brother stuck a garden snake down m shirt! but I would eat that potato stack right up!
Sounds like a fun day! The idea of sunburn in March is making me extremely jealous though. We had sun today, but it was cold and windy and everything was soggy from yesterday’s rain. LOL
potato on a stick??? yummmmmmmm
but not nearly as yummy as monkey feet
