Rock N Ribfest

My brother-in-law Sean is in a BBQ competition this weekend with his Uncle and a few of his friends. They have to cook a pork butt, brisket, ribs and chicken. They will be up all night tonight smoking their meat! Anyway, we went over to the festival they have in conjunction with the competition. They had many rib vendors from all over the country and even one from Australia (which was amazingly good). They had onion rings, corn dogs, french fries, pizza, fried dough, sausage subs, cotton candy...all the nasty fair food that we all hate to love to eat. They had a big kids area with a bunch of inflatable things for the kids like bounce houses and slides and stuff like that. There was a stage for kids entertainment and another stage for adult entertainment. They had a cover band on stage when we got there that was actually pretty decent to listen to. Julian got his face painted as you can see by the picture. On our way home we were hungry again after standing in line for the face painting for OVER AN HOUR! We ended up at McDonalds before going home and I had gotten used to his face looking like an alien. As we were walking in there were several tables along the window pointing and looking at him and smiling. It was really funny. They all loved his face. He really liked being the center of attention--NOT JULIAN, loving being the center of attention??? Haha. We had a great day. My Uncle Ronnie came with us which was fun too. He is always good for entertainment. We ended up spending the entire day there and had a lot of fun.
