I did this lo for Michelle's September ABC Challenge and the September Multi Photo Challenge and because I have wanted to do a lo on the beloved
Hippos of Hutto. Yes right in the middle of Texas one can find hippos EVERYWHERE. Now you understand my screen name. Hidden journaling reads:
LEGEND OF THE HUTTO HIPPOS
It is said the hippopotamus came into vogue at Hutto, a community in South Central Williamson County about eight miles west of the Taylor Ducks, after one of the mammals strayed from a carnival which came to the come. The hippo wandered into a nearby creek seeking its natural habitat and remained free several days. When carnival officials located it and tried to lure it out of the creek bottoms' good and cool water, it became belligerent. The ordeal of re-capturing the ferocious animal was so ingrained in the citizens' minds that when Hutto opened its first 11 grade school later that year, it chose to name its athletic teams the Hippos. Today, Class AAA Hutto's Hippopotami are called "THE HUSTLIN' HIPPOS," since the animals are known to run as fast as man and gallop at a faster pace for shorter distances.
