She bleeds black and red

Originally I started this post to talk about Hoopfest that we attended tonight. After looking back through different picures I decided to just make it about Avery's undying love for the Redbirds and Reggie Redbird in particular. This child is fascinated by Reggie Redbird and insists on going to "Reggie's House" quite often. While most kids her age are shy around large mascots, Avery is not. She runs to him!
