So Blake and I went to the 56th Annual Rattlesnake Roundup this weekend in Sweetwater.
It was a first for me (and probably a last) but I am glad we went.
Here is a rattlesnake up close:

Here they had a skinning booth, GROSS:
We enjoyed the afternoon hanging out with the Green's, who are Sweetwater natives. Dan's brother cooks a bunch of food, many drink beer and everyone just enjoys the weather (which was beautiful)!

Apparently, rattlesnakes are everywhere out here in West Texas. People actually hunt them, crazy I know! They have some very interesting vendors and things to purchase as I am sure you can imagine.
