It Probably Isn't Normal....

for your husband to wear mule ears and sell t-shirts downtown every year. However, when you become a part of the Morgan Family, you must re-invent your idea of "normal" each April. Bobby's dad heads up the "Official Mule Day t-shirt" stand every year with the Tech Alumni group and they raise money for scholarships to incoming students. It's a good cause so cut us some slack before you laugh!

Cade got a kick out of wearing Bob's button hat for a minute. Rhett was a bit frightened at first. He had no memory of Mule Day's past. He was most scared at his Papa yelling, "MULE DAY!!! GETYERMULEDAY!!!" He buried his face and would hardly let it be seen for quite some time. Eventually he came to and was waving and telling Bobby which horses he wanted to take home. He is still holding on to his horse fascination.
Grant soaked it all in but was ready to go when he realized it really WAS a parade full of mules. Yes, I was enjoying myself at the parade. I even sported my very own official Mule Day fitted tee. ( It was free. Just a perk for being in the family.)Among the many weird things you may see at Mule Day, this is the one that caught my attention. I love how I captured the smoke blowing out of his nose. Priceless. Would you like to know what else is priceless??

Seeing sheep try to eat Mule doodie..... On the way to the parade Cade said, "Hey, you remember last year when the mules and horses poopooed on the road? That's what I remember about it." My response, "I'm pretty sure that can be said for each and every Mule Day, son." I'm so happy that next year his most fond memory will be not only how they poopooed everywhere but then how, oddly enough, the sheep ate it. Have mercy.

Another Mule Day down for the record books.
