Parker was SO EXCITED when the Oregon Duck showed up at his basketball practice last night! His University of Oregon attending coach had some connections that scored them a visit and the boys were all in Sports Heaven for 40 minutes. They got to play Bump, Around the World, and a scrimmage with the Duck. This video shows Parker beating the Duck at the Bump game. The Duck wasn't happy about it.
I kept a careful watch on the Duck knowing how he beat up that other mascot earlier in the year. I've heard the Duck's been through some rehabilitation and couldn't harm a furry marmot now if he wanted to (although the Oregon sports teams could beat furry marmots any day.) In any case, I was prepared to show the Duck my moves if it came to that.
The Duck needs some more coaching in the "no contact" rules. Although, I think Parker enjoyed the spin around.
Parker had a lot of fun pulling on the Duck's tail. Um...hello! He should know better than to mess with the Duck. The Duck got him back...but I let it slide this once.
I'm pretty sure this was his favorite practice ever!

Lucky Parky!
Ludene was telling us about Parker's game and how we was the shortest on the team. The girls were like, "No way. Adrian is way shorter than Parker." Looking at that photo, how could Ludene miss THAT???? Silly silly.
That looks like a lot of fun! It's nice to know people with connections.
If he has the same coach next time can I join the team?? That is so cool. I am glad that you had your camera.
How fun. It looks like Parker was a very happy boy there. That was nice of the Duck to stop by.
How FUN for those little boys. What a treat.
And I was so glad to read that you were on your guard just in case that duck got out of control again. You never know.
