Another Contest...

Rob has done it again. Today at the 4th of July celebrations he participated in a Hot Dog Eating Contest. They had 12 minutes to eat as many hot dog and bun as they could. They could dip them in water, or however they wanted to, as long as they could keep them down. Gross huh! I think there were probably 13 contestants. Just before the contest, Rob got super quiet, he had his game face on. (actually I think that he was super nervous) Rob was able to consume 8 hot dogs in 12 minutes. After the time was up and all was said and done, Rob took 3rd place. He got some pretty good prizes... $10 gift card to what else but the Dogfather (hot dog place), and some other freebies. I told him that he did good for such a contest. He said, "ya, I just really wanted the Trophy..." (honestly). Ya just gotta love Rob and his competitive spirit.

Here is Rob just after they announced his name as a contender. (look at all those hot dogs)


Rob biting into his first hot dog. (yummy)

3 dogs down...making some progress.

Nearing the end...working on hot dog #8

Rob so proud - 3rd place - standing in front of contest sign.

UPDATE: The hot dog contest that Rob was in made the newspaper's front page. So I am adding the picture for documentation. (Rob is down on the end)

Robby says he could take you on Rob. One day we should have another super bowl party and add a hot dog eating contest to the agenda.
