A new side of Florida

So here is blog number 2! As we were sitting in our living room with our friends Brandon and Krista, Krista gets a phone call. Edge of your seat right!!Well in this phone call all I zone in to hear is HOG SHOW! What Hog Show, in FL. Well apparently Krista is like the mother of all Hog Show people. So of course we have to go check this out. Well 20 min. of driving later we are at the mother of all hog shows EVER. It was so cool. There were like a kabillion hogs and like four kabillion people. Hogs Everywhere. Not neccessarily your dream ZEINA!;) So we come to find out that these kids (Krista being like the former Queen of it all) Show these hogs, and whoever gets best in show gets to sell their hog first to be killed and eaten! Yeah! So people come from all over to bid on these hogs, 1000 of dollars to these 12 year old boys and girls to buy pigs that will be slaughtered and then they stock their freezer. Are they hibernating? Cool for the kid who just walked away with 4000 dollars, not so cool for the pork on a stick! I have to admit it was pretty cool! Apparently the kids get off a whole week of school for this, and it is a whole week of events! Strangest thing I have ever seen!
