A week ago this past Saturday was the annual Hobe Sound Christmas Parade. Kevin's company was in the parade again this year. They (HSBR Insurance) teamed up with our local Stuart Chick-fil-A for the parade. Kevin and Rod rented a convertible and then the general manager of Chick-fil-A along with Kevin, Rod, several of Rod's kids and their friends, one of Kevin and Rod's employees and the Santa Cow from Chick-fil-A all rode/walked in the parade. Besides handing out stuff from HSBR Insurance, they also handed out coupons for free shakes at Chick-fil-A that also had HSBR's name and info. on them. After the parade was over, a bunch of us hung out at the office, which is conveniently located right on the main street of Hobe Sound and the parade. Kaelyn LOVED the Santa cow. She didn't really notice it during the parade but once they all came back to the office she ran right up to it and hugged it. He picked her up and was dancing around with her and she loved it! When they took him into one of the back rooms of the office to change, she "camped" outside the door wating for the cow to come back out. Everyone tried to tell her that the cow was all gone but she was still trying to get into the room she saw him go into. When we finally convinced her that he was gone, she burst into tears. The guy (who had been the cow) felt so bad that he said he would put the costume back on again, which worked out nicely because everyone wanted to get pictures with him anyway. He did a fantastic job and was hilarious even though it was his first time to be in the cow costume. It was also quite warm that day so he was a good sport to get back into the costume. Kaelyn was thrilled when he (the cow) came back out and danced with her some more.
The following two Tuesday evenings for family night at Chick-fil-A, they had/are having the Santa cow there for pics. We went last Tues. half afraid that Kay would be so obsessed w/the cow again that it would be a problem but she did okay. She went over to him several times when there was no one else over there and she was happy just to sit in his lap. Now mind you, she won't get anywhere near the Santa Clauses at the mall and stuff but she LOVES the santa cow! (AND NO SHE'S NOT GETTING A COW FOR CHRISTMAS!)
