Manor Nursing Home



Today I visited the residents of Manor Nursing Home. I think I spooked a few of them, it's not everyday that a giant baseball roams the halls their. Once they figured out that I was just a jolly ole baseball, they liked me. I just wanted to get out and wish them a Happy Thanksgiving. I know they are looked forward to Turkey Day, as am I .

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, KaBoom

World Fest

Saturday was a full day for me. I spent the entire day in Downtown Bryan at World Fest. The Bombshells were out there with me, and we had a couple of inflatables set up for the kids to play on. We had a great spot, as we were able to see kids dancing and singing on stage to music of their culture. The vendor next to us had his cow with him, and he was showing cow milking demonstrations. The Bombshells enjoyed the cow more than I did, and the good ol' cowboy even let them milk his cow. Saturday morning was a cool one, but by the afternoon it warmed up. World Fest was such a neat event to be at!

Carnival!

Well, I had seen the Carnival out next to the mall, and I had been wishing that someone would take me out there. Finally, Friday night I made it out to the Carnival. It was so much fun! The rides were awesome, the food was great, and my most favorite part was seeing all the people. That was my first Carnival to go to, but I can't wait to go to another one.

Christmas Tree Lighting



Last Thursday, I went to the First Annual Lights On Ceremony in Downtown Bryan . There was people every where watching the tree be lit. I took so many pictures in front of the tree with kids getting into the holiday spirit. I really enjoyed getting to see the lights come on! Now if we can just get some cooler weather, it will really feel like Christams time.

Alzheimer's Memory Walk

Saturday I went and met some friends at the Wolf Pen Creek Ampitheatre for the Alzheimer's Memory Walk. What a great way to spend my Saturday. There were people everywhere walking to raise money for Alzheimer's. I thought it was cool that so many people would show up to raise money for such a great cause. My favorite part was getting to pass out the programs and have some fun with the kids.

Verteran's Day Parade

There's nothing better than a little parade action. Sunday, I was lucky enough to be apart of the Veteran's Day Parade in Downtown Bryan. I was amazed at the number of people that came out to watch, that was so much fun! I enjoyed getting some exercise out of it to, I sure needed it after all the sweets I ate at BooFest and watching Forest Gump.

Run Forest Run!

Friday night was movie night for me! I went to the Palace Theater with some friends to watch Forest Gump...what a classic. It was quite a chilly night, but my brand new fuse kept me warm!It was fun to see all my friends show up to watch the movie too.

Voting Day!

Soon we will have a new president of the United States. Today is voting day, and people all over this great country will get out and vote today, including me! My good friend Ashley helped get me to the voting booth this morning. Luckily it was not too crowded, and we did not have to wait too long. The people at the booth had no idea a big bomb/baseball like me could vote, but I can. Make sure you get out and vote today!

BooFest @ the Ballpark

Halloween night had to be one of the great days in Bomber history. I joined with my friends from the Bombers front office, and we met some people from around town to put on BooFest @ the Ballpark. Kids from all over town came out the see me, it was awesome. There was candy, games, and a costume contest. Robert made me a sweet ghost costume, it was so cool they didn't even let me enter the contest. I made so many friends that night, it was great. After all was said and done, I was told over 1700 people showed up at the ballpark that night. What a great event that was for the residents of B/CS. I can only hope that next year it will be bigger and better!

Kids Night @ Wings n' More

Wednesday is always Kids Night @ Wings 'n More. I love kids almost as much as I love baseball, so I decided to see who I could see at Wings 'n More. Arriving at 5 was just a tad bit early to catch the big kids rush, but it was still a good time. All the kids were excited to see me, and I hope to be there more times to see more kids! The pretty bar tenders especially liked me...I even got to take a picture with them. I tried my hardest to get a popsicle, but I was told they were only for the kids. :( All in all it was a good time, and I enjoyed seeing a few kids.

KaBoom Goes to Lunch

Last Tuesday, October 28, I attended lunch with some students at Sul Ross Elementary. It was a quiet day in my life and I could not decide whatI wanted for lunch. The Sul Ross Cafe was serving Macaroni & Cheese with corn. While it looked appetizing , I decided to pass. Although I left hungry, he did enjoy his time with the students. Some came up and said they recognized him from Bombers games, and had even raced him around the bases before! Hopefully some joined me at BooFest.
