a Decidedly Ducky Day

Oh, what a day! We headed down to Eugene today to attend Brett's first duck basketball game...and despite the fact that our ducks lost to Arizona, the day couldn't have gone better! Check out these priceless photos and videos of our Little Ducky meeting his hero, the Big Ducky.


Love at first Sight

A little excited, are we?

Admiring his lifelong hero...Big Ducky's cutest little fan!

Big Ducky shows Brett how it's done. Pose for the camera!

Going for a walk together...sweet!

And getting introduced to some more cheerleaders...the two ducks are the stars of the show!!

Big Ducky came and sat with us...and even drew a picture for Brett on his MagnaDoodle.

Smoooooch! Brett also said "I love you Big Ducky" several times.

Brett was quite the showstopper with all the cheerleaders too...This is Missy. She just had to stop by for a photo op!

"Yeah, Go Ducks!" Practicing a routine with the cheerleaders.

I have to add two little tidbits not captured on video...when we first arrived in the arena, before the team, cheerleaders, and mascot, we were just hanging out near our seats when we were spotted by the infamously rowdy student section. Oh yeah, they liked our little duckling...a LOT. Suddenly, from across the court, we heard hundreds of students all together chanting "BABY DUCK! BABY DUCK!" Then, when we held up Brett and danced him around a bit, they cheered wildly. What an awesomely fun day, and a dream come true for our little champ! Also, it was such a fun surprise to see how all the fans and workers reacted to our little mascot. TONS of people asked to take photos with him. TONS more took photos without even asking. It was so cool to see our little guy be such a star for a day. Makes for a proud Mama and Daddy!

We hope someday all these fun memories will resurface as our little guy grows into a star Oregon athlete...wouldn't these make for great yearbook and news photos if he just happens to lead the Ducks to another Pac-10 championship someday? Ahh, the dream...;)
