The Quaker Oatmeal Festival

A couple of weekends ago Ramin ran in the Quicker Quaker 5K. The race was a part of the Quaker Oatmeal Festival in Lafayette and so was "The World's Largest Oatmeal Bar." I don't know if this claim is actually true, but while Ramin warmed up for his race, Isaiah and I warmed up by eating delicious oatmeal with lots and lots of toppings. As we walked through the topping part of the line he bypassed the dried fruit, ignored the nuts and barely noticed the fresh fruit. All eyes were on the candy portion of the bar. I let him indulge, but I'm thankful that this oatmeal bar is only offered once a year.
gummy worms, m&m's, jelly beans, chocolate chips...YIKES!
mmmmm....

Glad to get a "visual" of that unbelievable bowl of oatmeal - hilarious! What a cool event/run.
