Meeting Victor "Macho" Harris & Ryan Shuman

Friday afternoon Kevin & I took the boys to the Senior Bowl's "Meet the Players" session. I picked up the boys & the Prescott's kids and headed downtown. Boy was it packed! There were thousands of U of Alabama fans there since John Parker Wilson was there. Thankfully we weren't there to see him, but instead the 2 Virginia Tech players that were there! The VT players weren't signing autographs until 5 so the boys played on the inflatables. Then the moment arrived that the boys had been waiting for all week! We managed to get in line early & timed it to where at 5 we were in the front of the line. It was so exciting meeting the VT players. Of course living in the SEC, we were the only VT fans there!!! I think the players were shocked to see us fans, but it was really good! The Press Register had a super nice article on Macho in Thursday's edition so we had a copy for each boy to get autographed. He also gave them one of his cards that he had. I plan to frame it once the VT stickers that I ordered arrive.

So excited to get to meet some VT players!


Here the boys are with Macho! I didn't know that the settings on my camera were set they way there were so the boys' faces are a little blurry. The focus was on Macho, which was really neat!

So excited!

We also got to meet Ryan Shuman's mother. She noticed at the VT gear that we were wearing & came up and introduced herself. She couldn't believe it when she saw us VT fans!!!
