Elephant appreciation day at CHOM

Elephant appreciation day may not mean much in other places, but here in Alabama, it is celebrated! At the Children's Museum, Big Al (the Univ of AL mascot) appeared for pictures with the kids, and they had balloons,  cookies, and all kinds of fun. The best part was when Big Al surprised the kids by hanging out with the kids in the animal room - Savannah gave him big hugs, the kids launched themselves onto him, and he pretended to chomp the kids with a big stuffed alligator.
