In case you didn’t know, Ben and I graduated from Western Kentucky University (three times for me actually) where the mascot is Big Red (basically a big red blob with a huge mouth)! Everyone, at some point or another in their WKU career have a photo op with Big Red. Here is a picture from my glory days.
Over Thanksgiving, we decided to head to a WKU basketball game. Mikayla loved watching all the people and playing with the pom-poms from a little girl behind us. Even though it was well past her bedtime and went into double overtime, she still had a blast. However, I would say her favorite part of the game was meeting Big Red. After she got up close with him and took her picture she kept pointing to him around the gym. It was so sweet!
I think she was trying to figure out why his mouth was so big!
Silly faces!

Checking out the pom-poms! Notice her cutey Big Red clip!
GO TOPS!
After Big Red, I would say popcorn was the highlight of her night!
Watching the action with Grandma!
