The Travels of "Large Ass" Herzog (photo log)

[milkit1]

So I was lucky enough to be the first person George sent Bucky to way back in April 2011. Back then I had my children pose (very reluctantly) with him. I thought it would be cool to do followup photos every 10 years with the same poses so everyone can see my boys aging rapidly and Ol Buck staying the same.
At the bottom I asked my sons some questions including a prediction for the future and to guess when Buck was born and died (they were closer than I thought theyd be!).

My son Sean was 10 months old back in April 2011. He is now 11 years 3 months. Still very hungry!

My son Maxwell was 4 1/2 years old when this pic was taken with Bucky in front of the Abraham Lincoln tomb here in Springfield Il. He will be 15 next week.

I can honestly say Maxwell had WAY more fun doing this now then he did then! This is in front of our Korean War memorial

You can see that Maxwell was sick of this game in the early photo. He was very enthusiastic this time around!

Buck wanted to see Honest Abe's tomb. He said it reminded him of time he fought Ty Cobb in a hotel room. I was confused and assumed that was supposed to be poignant?

Those are great photos, Sean. Thanks for posting. And Large Ass looks just the same after 10 yrs. Your kiddos are growing up fast. If we play it right we can have your kids kids take him for a while.

Let's make sure we keep good tabs on Large Ass. IF there are no takers I can get him back to home base here in Lucas Texas....but he does love to travel.

Thanks Leon! Yeah I'm hoping to make this a 10 year tradition since this started with my youngest was basically zero (10 months). Seeing the sign-in book is great too!

Checking back if anyone wants to trade, send me a pm.
Thanks
Sean
