Every year Athens has a huge Kids Expo. Every year, we already have plans to do something else and can't go or won't go. This year, I wanted to take Mo. It turned out to be a hugely good idea! The Home Depot booth had kids' workshops, and Homer was walking around. Mo ran up and gave him a big hug. There were bouncy houses galore and Mo wore himself completely out bouncing in all of them. Mo took photos with some of his favorite characters and even Spider-Man! Dora was there, as was Elmo, and some Disney Princesses. Mo made a point to meet the Athens-Clarke County police officers and he let them know right away that his uncle is a policeman, too. He liked the whole fingerprinting process. I told him not to get used to it! We headed over to the petting zoo and Mo held a guinea pig, a couple of different rabbits and had an encounter with a parrot. We ended up spending about four hours without even realizing it! By the time we left, both Mo and Mama needed a nap. I'm so glad we went.

| Mo likes Princesses! |

| Face Painting--Tiger. Admittedly the artist didn't have much experience with Tigers. She mostly had to do about 500 Bulldogs and UGA "G" logos. But Mo loved it in the mirror and that's all that mattered. |

| The Parrot wouldn't turn around. Mo was a bit unsure about the whole "bird on the shoulder" experience. |
 |
| "Oooh, Bunny!" |
 |
| Guinea Pig |
 |
| Ummm, Larger than Mo Gigantor Rabbit. That's a real live rabbit there, no lie. |
 |
| Spider-Man is Awesome! |
 |
| Head first? Not Mama-Approved! Not that Mo took a poll. |

| Hi Dora! |
