Christmas & Cows...what a combo!

No matter how hard I try, I always have to go to at least one store to pick up something on Christmas Eve. So I load up mom and the boys and head to run errands. As we drive by one of the fifty Chick-Fil-A's down here, we see that the one near our house has Santa Cow visiting from 11-2. So I say this out loud & of course Rylan AND my mom want to go there for lunch. Let's face it my mom wanted to go more than anyone. So as luck would have it we get done with our errands right at 11. I call Nate & he doesn't really want to go, but wants me to take pictures. We have to drop off Frazier anyway, because what would errand running be without Frazier?!

So we pull into "the Chick" as I like to call it, and believe it or not, not many kids are there. Rylan walks in says "Hi Cow, Hi Buddy!" and then walks as far away as he can from the cow. I get our food and sit near the cow. He wants to sit with his back to the cow, but then turns around to see what the cow is doing every five seconds. After a whooping 15 minutes of sitting there the cow takes a break...what a slacker, or should I say slackow. Of course, Rylan now wants to see the cow and talk to him. Finally he comes back but Rylan is too busy playing/flirting with another girl that is there (which will explain the lack of shoes). I convince him that if he wants to get a picture with Santa Cow Gigo, Austin & I will take the picture with him too. He wants to stand next to Gigo, but as you can see from the picture he's trying to get as far from the cow as possible.

The lady that took the pictures tells me afterwards that I'd be surprised how many kids are scared of the cow. Really....I'd be surprised?! Lady, if you only knew...
