Barbeque Galore!

I am FINALLY getting around to posting pictures from our weekend in Memphis at the Barbeque Festival!  It was only…3 weeks ago…We went with our friends, Anderson and Brittani.  Anderson’s dad competes in the Barbeque competition every year and has gotten in the top 10 several years.  It was fun having our own “team”!

Here are Brittani and I standing in front of part of the setup…look at all those trophies!Hanging out in our tent…They are preparing the hog here…it was so so so gross.  I had to twist Brittani’s arm to get this close to the icky thing.  He actually prepared 2 whole hogs for the competition!We walked about a mile to the Peabody hotel to see the ducks march and to walk around Beale Street. However…it rained on our way back…I mean really rained.  We were SO prepared and brought rain boots and rain coats but of course all of that was at the festival and we were a mile away.  Needless to say we got wet.  But after we got back and dried off a teeny bit we were happy in our rain clothes!We have the same boots…we are so cool.  :) Here are the hogs almost ready for the judges!  Note the hog on the right with his tongue all sticking out…Man, did it taste good though!  We just had to pretend we hadn’t just seen the whole process…

Brittani posted a bunch more pictures on her blog here if you are bored and want to check them out.  :)  Another fun weekend with friends!
