Punxsutawney Phil!!

Brian and I only live about 90 minutes from Punxsutawney.  So we woke up super early and made the drive to see Phil on Groundhogs Day!!  Punxsutawney has less than 6000 people that live in the little town, but on Groundhogs Day that number shoots up to over 20,000!!  I couldn't believe it!! I didn't realize how big of a deal Groundhogs Day is!!  We had so much fun! They had music and dancing and even a little firework show! The national guard was out controlling the crowd and I've never heard so many song with the word "prognostication" written into the lyrics.  It was a pretty great morning!!

 Waiting for Phil in the rain

 There were a TON of people in this little field!! It was unbelievable! 

 The little firework show for Phil!

 The inner circle of the Groundhog Club, with their top hats, getting ready for Phil!

 The inner circle informed the country that Phil saw his shadow...I find that hard to believe since it was cloudy and dark...but who knows

 

We bought Phil t-shirts...cause we are legit!!  

Our walk back to the car.  People park at the high school or Walmart and are shuttled in on school buses. It was the biggest line of school buses I've ever seen. 

 A better look at our shirts!! They are hilarious!  It looks like some little kid colored a picture of a groundhog and they slapped it on the shirt.  We love it!
