Dress Like a Cow...and Eat Free!

Today was "Cow Appreciation Day" at Chick-Fil-A, and if you dress up like a cow, you get a free meal! So Brayden and I cut out "cow spots" and put them on our t-shirts and headed our way to get some yummy Chikin!

Ready for some Chikin dressed up as a cow.
He had spots on his shirt, a "Eat Mor Chikin" sign
around his neck, and a cow nose to complete the look.
Soon after sitting down to eat, we were informed of a "Cow Drop"
out in the parking lot. A helicopter was coming to Chick-Fil-A
to drop 200 mini plush cows with parachutes down into
the Chick-Fil-A parking lot.
He got SO excited when the cows started
dropping with their mini parachutes.
The crowd of a couple hundred people were SUPER intense about catching these cows! Ten cows had red stars on them and the people who caught them won a YEAR of free Chick-Fil-A...WHAT?! I was really hoping to catch one of those, but as the drops went on, I just wanted to catch ONE cow...Poor Brayden wanted one so bad, and I just couldn't catch one. I tried so hard, but ended up getting pushed around and stepped on by men jumping a bit higher than I could. He was so bummed when I didn't get one...
I felt so bad that I couldn't get one...


...but then we saw one of our amazing HS girls from church.
She had caught one and gave it to him. SO SWEET!!!
He was SO excited and played with it the entire night...
throwing the cow up and letting the parachute slowly bring it down.
Thanks, Madi!

I would have knocked out a couple of those men for you to get a cow for the Punk! I imagine it was a little hard for a mom with a kid to compete with psychotic cow-chasing lunatics! I'm so glad that a sweet friend gave him a cow!
