The Worm Grunting Festival

This morning Caden and I joined our friends Micah and Abby for the worm grunting festival in Sopchoppy, Florida. It was pretty awesome. Very American. Funnel cake, snow cones, BBQ, and many little tents with jams, jellies, crafts, knives, antiques...you name it. We had alot of fun.
Then it was back to Abby's parents house to celebrate her birthday with smoked meats, yummy sides and delicious desserts...at least they looked delicious. Caden and I had to bolt right after lunch due to extreme toddler fatigue.
It was a good time had by all.

Here is the worm grunting in action. People stick stakes in the ground and vibrate the top with some type of metal device. The worms sense the vibrations and come to the surface. The contestant who accumulates the most worms, wins.

'Hey Caden, what do you think of the worm grunting?'

"Huh?"

"Here Abby, wear my frisbee on your head."

"Now I'll wear it on my head!"

Go to the outdoor store. Buy a big old tub of worms. Hide the tub in your pocket. Go to Sopchoppy with a stick, whack it around a bit, and then shout Eureka as you very slyly empty the contents of te tub onto the ground.
Winner winner chicken dinner.

I was born and raised in Florida, and never once did I ever hear of worm grunting. That is truly strange.
