Cow Appreciation Day


This past Friday (two days ago) was "Cow Appreciation Day" at all Chick-fil-A's nationwide. It's a high-energy, fun day as customers come dressed to the restaurant as a cow to get free food (Chick-fil-A sandwich). If one is dressed up in a full-body costume, then they can get a free combo meal. The stores are usually packed all day long, Dustin's being no exception.
Levi and I went to support his Daddy, and, of course, we had to join in the fun! We stood out in front of the store in the food court, advertising Cow Appreciation Day as I took pictures of the different customers decked out for their free food. He was such a good boy, and slept through the entire commotion!

Doesn't hurt to support the family biz!
In case you're wondering, some good friends of ours, the Boytes, saw this baby cow suit and bought it with us in mind when they saw it BEFORE we were pregnant. They waited to give it to us when we were pregnant--so perfect and thoughtful!

Dustin and some of his employees got to work early to cover the food court with balloons for the event.
What's really funny is that a customer early in the day, unaware of Cow Appreciation Day, thought Chick-fil-A was celebrating the NAACP that is also currently in town . . .
The store-front was packed with 6 lines of customers, wrapping in front of some of the other restaurants. (Notice some of the costumes in the photo). Dustin gave away TONS of food this day.Of course, The Cow was there!
Our little family business.
I think this one is funny because you can see how long Levi is!!

Amy- wow, I love Levi's little costume! How precious! and what a riot that Chick Fil A has cow day! I totally would have found a cow suit (?) if I had known...so I could have gotten a free combo. Glad you are well girl..
