Ox Rocks!!
Today Nathan & I took the kids and headed to the outlet mall. It was a beautiful day for some shopping and we splurged on some clothes from the Banana Republic outlet. We decided to head towards the country instead of back on the highway after our shopping. Lo and behold, we went through a tiny town (the kind with a store called BAIT & GUNS and they have live bait vending machines). Then.... we saw it....
That's right, that sign said OX ROAST. Nathan and I laughed at the idea of an Ox Roast. Then we looked at each other and knew.... we had to stop. If you know anything about Nathan and me, then you know we don't pass up any fair-looking event with the word "roast" in the title, no matter what animal they are claiming to cook. Lucky for us, we always travel prepared to stop at a good fair.... camera, sunscreen, hats for the kids, you name it.
We hung out with the locals (don't worry, I didn't come home with one of their dresses):
And, listened to the band (they were actually really good):
Keegan got to go in a bounce house (notice Nathan outside the bounce house... he's apparently too tall to go in it):
We introduced the town to baby carriers ("We've never seen something like that before."):
Keegan got to drive the town's firetruck:
And, last but not least.... we got us some meat.... and it was delicious:
We had a lot of fun and made some new friends. I hope you see some irony in a couple that can shop at Banana Republic and go to an Ox Roast all in the same day.
So, next time you see an OX ROAST going on, be sure to stop!
