Saturday was somewhat quiet as Austin and I hung out indoors while dad finished up some yard work and changed the oil in the cars. That evening however, we went to Liberty in downtown Greenville for dinner and then walked over to watch a Greenville Drive game since the Zooperstars (from American's Got Talent) were there preforming. As we were walking around Fluor Field, we came across Reedy Rip-it, the Drive's fluffy green mascot and I took Austin over for a visit.
Kids love mascots, right? WRONG! When we were about a foot away from the giant stuffed frog, my poor baby let out a terrible scream and started to cry hysterically! Reedy ran off and mom and dad tried to calm down our scared little boy. We'd never seen him react that way before so once he calmed down, we tried to make a slower approach with daddy holding Austin as I stood in front of him and kept his attention. We snapped a quick picture and Austin didn't seem to mind Reedy this time, although we didn't stick around for handshakes or anything!
Austin has met Santa, the Easter Bunny and a clown and didn't seem to mind any of them, but Reedy must have rubbed him the wrong way that first visit. I think Reedy was as anxious about the second meeting as we were but it all turned out ok, whew!
