Fears no Longer

This weekend I challenged a childhood fear of mine. When I was younger, my older brothers would catch snakes and throw them at me. I hated it and was always so scared of them. Also, one camping trip with my sister and friends, I stepped on a rattlesnake on the way to the outhouse and ran faster than I'd ever ran before. Needless to say, I HATE snakes! Well, as of late, that dislike has slowly been diminishing and after this weekend, I realized it is gone. On Saturday, we went to the Rattlesnake Rodeo in Opp, AL. It was quite entertaining. We saw snake races, heard a local band, and ate rattlesnake, alligator, and funnel cakes. We had the opportunity to take a picture with a rattlesnake for $5, but the line was too long, and the sun was too hot.
