Proud Family Moment!

Such a proud moment in our family!

You might be a redneck if three members of your family are the reigning Pig Wrestling Champions of the County Fair! So my sister-in-law, Mandi, calls me up and says, "I have a proposal for you and you're gonna like it!" She wanted me to be on her Pig Wrestling team at the county fair. So I succombed to the peer pressure and drug Mataia (very willingly) into it with us. What do you know.....we won! With a very impressive time of 13.38 seconds! That pig was no match for us!










Then, not to be outdone by his girls, Jeff joined a team when one of their members was not able to make it. So his team is basically 3 tough high school athletes and him. As much as they wanted to win the men's division, they wanted to beat our time more. One of the boys was Mandi's little brother, Regg, so his competitiveness was coming through, too. They won the men's division and beat us by less than a second with a time of 12. 87 seconds! Dang!








Morgan was on a Pee Wee team and they ran out of time before they could catch the pig. But she still had fun getting dirty and chasing the pig!




So we've been making fun of ourselves all weekend. It's actually a little embarrasing, but it was pretty darn fun. And we came home with $240 prize money between the three of us!
