Oh, the things we saw...Okie Noodling Fest


Words can't describe the gloriousness of the Okie Noodling Tournament in Pauls Valley, OK. I'm pretty sure it's going to have to become a yearly tradition. The Loehrs-Wehunt combination always guarantees craziness and fun, and this day sure wasn't lacking in either. I also got to cross the event off my summer list!


I can definitely see why all of this Oklahoma goodness has earned national attention. We saw...


each team's catch being brought in from the lake...

team after team earning awards for the day's heaviest catch...


and a priceless look on Kelly's face after she got slapped by one of the catfish, as they carried them by!

You can't go to the Noodling Festival without stopping at Bob's Pig Shop and...


enjoying a Catfish fry! We also saw a lot of interesting people such as....


the lieutenant governor, Jari Askins...


lots of red, white, and blue apparel wearin' noodlers...


A Japanese film crew that documented the event for a Japanese reality show. (Check out the video of this guy bringing in his catch)...


and these guys...need I say more?


We came. We saw. We conquered. And I think I'm going to have to do it again next year.
