Mascot Weekend

We were exceptionally busy this weekend. The Biscuits don't have too many home games left this year, so we decided to go watch them on Friday night one last time. Tommy was uber excited to go to the baseball game and see Big Mo again, and HEAVAN FORBID that we walk by good ole Mo with out taking a picture with him (even though we already have PLENTY of photos of Big Mo).

Luckily for Tommy, the Buckmasters Expo was in town and having a VIP night at the Biscuits game. This means that we had a mascot twofor because the Buckmasters mascot Bucky was at the game too!

To be honest, I'm a little confused on Bucky as a mascot. I mean, Buckmasters is a organization for hunters, but their mascot is a large buck wearing a hunter's orange vest???? (Just a warning Bucky, don't trust those hunters, they are NOT concerned about your safety. Trust me on this one.) Tommy got a big kick out of seeing him anyways....

Sunday was Auburn University's Fan Day. I think that most of you that know me can appreciate the fact that I am a college football fan. And like any good college football fan, it is my solemn duty to brainwash my child into the traditions and culture of my team. So for the last three years in a row, Tommy, Sissy and I have made the pilgrimage to Auburn for Fan Day. This year Auburn has a new head coach, so that meant standing in a ridiculously long line to see the new coach.

Of course, the guy that Tommy was really looking forward to seeing was Auburn's mascot Aubie....

My boss' daughter is on the Auburn University Dance Team called Tiger Paws this year. They were at Fan Day signing autographs for the kids too, so we stopped by to say hello. These girls were so incredibly sweet! They took the time to talk to Tommy and really made him feel special. I think that he enjoyed seeing them as much as anything at Fan Day.

And to round out our tour de mascots who should we find, but one of my personal favorites, the Chick-fil-a Cow....

More on AU Fun Day later............
