6.17.06 Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt: Sports
Let me introduce you to our family sport of Mudbug (or Crawdads for the Northerners) Racing. Every year my family and friends gather 'round the Mudbug track and race our favorite mudbug. We name them, set up a bracket of teams and race these suckers. 
Here we are at the starting line up. The board on top of the track is removed. Then, at the sound of the cap gun, they're off...
This one looks like a winner to me. What do you think?
Here's Judge Jody. She settles any distubes among the racers. "My antennae corssed the line first!" "Well, my nose crossed first...that's the real winner!" The Mudbugs take this very seriously.
Believe it or not, the sport is quite popular. Look at all the fans!
And the winner is....
**Technical difficulties**Blogger is not letting me post the picture of the winner. Please check back later for the update. Thanks!
...Wolf! The owner was awarded a First Prize Ribbon. The racer was awarded his freedom and was released in the near by river.

That looks like a lot of fun! I've always called them Crawdads and I'm from the South. I've never eaten any but I have eaten frog legs and they're really good.
That is just wild! Looks like fun :)
