His daycare, which we love and adore, celebrated its 24th anniversary with pony rides and cake. It turns out, Anderson is a fan of both! His cute little class sat down on the "magic blanket" to wait their turn!
When it was Anderson's turn, he jumped right up and wanted to pet the horse.
Once he pronounced the horse "soft," he was ready to ride! He held onto the saddle and did not stop smiling from there!
He was very excited about the sound the horse made!
After riding the horses, Anderson got a piece of cake from Sandy ("Sanny") who is one of his favorites. She definitely solidified that title after this cake...it was fantastic!
On Sunday, April 28, we went to the Chow Wagon (because, let's face it, you haven't really prepared for Derby until you have had a corn dog as long as your right leg and an elephant ear that could cover your pillow). Anderson loved it! These deep feelings didn't come from the food or from the rides, but from the people that walk by dressed as different characters. Anderson met a duck...
...and he met a giant Subway sandwich, who gave him a free subway card...
...and he met a giant bottle of shampoo ("shampoop"), who he tried to give his free sandwich to.
Once we got our free sandwich back, we headed to check out the fountains. On the way, Anderson noticed a huge dog making its way across the grass. He was very focused on the process of inflating the dog. He wanted to pet him, so we headed that direction only to see a group preparing their balloon for the parade.
Once the novelty of the dog wore off, we were able to make our way to the fountains. Anderson is convinced that he conducts the movement of every fountain. And...he might.
On the way back to the car, Anderson met a friend (and again, had to pet him).
Finally, we were ready to go. As we left, the band was starting to warm up. When Anderson heard it, he just had to keep the beat!
I am beginning to think there is something more to this whole Derby Season thing! I am in!
