Mule Day Pics

Oh the Mule Day...
These are just a few of the pics I took from our little shopping adventure.
The sign was obviously the first thing I spotted. They line the streets. Next, was Irene.. the Democratic Donkey. She is always there, so I finally asked the old man sitting beside her if it was the same Irene every year or if they changed every so often. He said that was the same Irene every year and that she is 34 years old!!! I had no idea donkeys lived that long. He also told me that she had been deemed the official National Democratic Donkey and had marched in both of President Clinton's Inaugural Parades. Here's a link if you need more info. It's kinda awesome. http://www.leftinalabama.com/diary/3062/ The peanut man is just a little thing I saw and thought it was kind of cool. While looking at it, Skip found the knives she'd been so desperately searching for. It's a little crazy that they just have these things just laying around for anybody to pick up. I tried to get Skip to pose as she was pretending to chop, but she wouldn't do it. Fun times. :0)
