Well this was a first for my family and I. Something I have never seen in any Walmart in the country.

As we walked into the store this weekend, "Smiley" the Walmart mascot was roaming the store. I didn't even know they had a mascot roaming the stores these days.

Too be honest, it was a bit of a surprise to my kids and I. They thought it was kind of cool to see a big smiley face running around but it was very unexpected. I had to do a double take at first to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing.

I wonder if this was a one time only thing or of it will be an ongoing adventure for Smiley.

Have you seen "Smiley" running around on your trips to the store? What did your kids think when they saw it?
