Peanuts

Yesterday Nate, myself and our friends Jared and Madeline decided to check out the National Peanut Festival in Dothan, AL. That's right people, half the peanuts in the U.S. are grown within 100 miles of where we live so the big peanut celebration is done right here.

Yes, we felt a little, ok a lot out of place but it was entertaining non the less. We saw goats the size of small horses, a giant red wood log that was turned into a house, there was a 9-year-old that was getting pushed in a stroller, smelled some amazing food and ate some, and couldn't tell if people were carnies or just Alabama residents. Let's just say it was good times all around.

Here are a few photos from our afternoon.

Just in case you were wondering, with me being a picky eater and all, no I do not like peanuts or nuts of any kind, but I ate one any way just because.
