Bell of the Mall

Foo just couldn't wait to ring this bell loudly, but it was not hanging so it wasn't as impressive as it could be. Regardless, Foo still considered himself the bell of this ball.

Chalk it Up

Foo just loved seeing the chalk art in the park, especially those as funny this one punning on the local dogwood flower with some of Foo's furry friends.
Then he went under the sea and found fascinating friends, including a dolphin, a jelly fish and even a mermaid.
Foo then played coy with these lifelike yet giant koi fish who were swimming in the pavement.
But Foo's favorite were these art models in the act of creating the art right there in the park!

Hi There!

Foo just loves when he runs into fun sculpture friends that greet him with a super smile and a wave. Reddington here was super kind and showed Foo where to go for even more adventures.

Mega Message

Foo was excited to finally have a way to tell all of Knoxville what a fun trip he was having. He shouted and shouted to the streets, but alas no one was around.

Gazing Everywhere

Foo got stars in his eyes when he came upon this Stargazer sculpture in Krutch Park. Too bad there were no stars out. He wanted to see how it worked.

Chiming Cross

Foo just loved how this sculptured cross chimed in just as he walked by, gathering his attention and making him stop and observe it. It was adorned quite nicely, he thought, but it didn't last long and he moved on.

Petal Poser

Foo was all abuzz with the opportunity to be like a bee on this gigantic flower! Unfortunately immediately after the photo, Foo went into a sneezing fit. Apparently the pollen, even when metal, was too much for him. No more bee time for Foo.

Cirque du Foo-leil

Foo was thrilled to see such fit folks getting their super stretch on so early in the morning so he joined right in! He thinks he gave them a run for their money.

Slinky Arch

Foo wasn't expecting to find this delightful spot called Krutch Park, but he was wowed by all the pretty sculptures like this super welcoming arch clearly made from a giant slinky!

Number Fun

Foo was delighted to find this hopscotch thing, but sadly it didn't have all the numbers so he was confused about where to begin. At least it went to 11.

Leaf of Faith

Foo was leafing through the park and came upon this lovely stack of leaves. He just had to leap into action and go to the head of the column.

Poetic Mettle

Foo found it entirely poetic that this poetry was immortalized in metal. He just wished he could take it home, but yet again, it was stuck to the ground.

Looking Good

Foo was just walking along and then realized suddenly that he was being watched... He had to bee careful not to get any schmutz in any of the eyes though.

Exploding Fever

At first, Foo just thought this was a pretty abstract bird sculpture, but he's not the most perceptive so he took a closer look.
Apparently there was an steamer ship that broke down here, and unfortunately brought yellow fever to the town. Unlike other kinds of gifts, this was not so fun, causing 66 deaths. That wasn't cool.

Ring My Bell

Although Foo usually is the bell of the ball, he found this one in the park in Princeton and just had to ring it. Honestly he expected a ton of people to join him in the park, but the calm of the morning continued. Frown.

In the Foos

While in the park at Princeton, Foo came upon this gentleman just sitting down getting caught up on the news. That made Foo curious about current events, so he hopped on up, and the man was gracious enough to let Foo get a peak of his own.

Poisoning Pigeons in the Park

Foo was walking in the park by the NYSE and found these pigeons just lounging about, not being productive and not buying any stocks.
He thought that was quite lame, so he wowed to find a way to make them work harder...

Tunnel Love

Foo was getting tired after the romping day at the park, so he climbed up into this tunnel to get some rest. Noelle soon followed. He was nervous at first, not knowing what she wanted.
As it turns out, she just wanted to cuddle with Foo and make sure he was comfortable for his nap.

Teeter Toddler

After breaking out of prison, the first thing Noelle wanted to do was go on the Teeter Totter. Foo was completely on board with the plan, but he just couldn't quite get the concept that he was supposed to go on the other end and not the middle. Noelle didn't know what to make of it, so she just rolled her eyes and looked away.   

Prison Break

When they were playing in the park, suddenly some people came and threw Noelle and her daddy, Jeff, in jail! Foo didn't even ask what they had done before immediately jumping to their rescue.

Foo scaled the prison wall with his best Ninja Foo skills while Noelle worked her position from the inside to trick the guards.
Once Foo got inside, he and Noelle checked quickly to see if the coast was clear, then they were off...
but not before Noelle turned to Foo and said, "You're the man, Foo!" to which he replied, "No, I'm the Foo, but thanks!" They made their daring escape and even saved Jeff as well.
